One of the world’s most polluting industries is the textile-dyeing sector, which in China and other Asian nations releases trillions of liters of chemically tainted wastewater. But new waterless dyeing technologies, if adopted on a large scale, could sharply cut pollution from the clothing industry.
So, it is always gratifying to highlight good data on the EPA web site that is both accessible and useful. I encourage you all to check out our newly redesigned and interactive Power Plant Emission Trends page.  On this page you’ll find the most recent 2013 sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions data from power plants, as well as emission data from previous years.
Databases for Worker Empowerment
In the meantime, some advocacy groups are pushing forward with tools that empower workers themselves to make safer decisions about chemical use.
Worker advocates hold out especially high hopes for the Health Product Declaration standard, which Bill Walsh, executive director of the Healthy Building Network, likened Feb. 10 to “a material safety data sheet on steroids,” as a means of providing more information about safer product alternatives.
The goal of Health Product Declaration is to establish a standard format to support informed decisions about products’ impacts on human health and “reduce the burden on product manufacturers juggling multiple types of information requests and reporting formats,” according to the Health Product Declaration Collaborative website. The effort was launched in 2010.
The most prominent current tool is the ChemHAT database, built largely by workers at unions, including the United Steelworkers and Communications Workers of America. The database, available online, offers workers detailed information about hazardous chemicals and safer alternatives.
A similar ongoing effort aimed more at employers is the Pharos Project database, which lists 34,000 chemicals and safer substitutes, said Walsh, speaking at the Good Jobs Green Jobs conference.
