California and Denmark sign green chemistry agreement

摘要

California EPA Secretary Linda Adams and Danish Environmental Minister Troels Lund Poulsen last week signed an information-sharing agreement to advance "common environmental and green chemistry interests." "Ensuring that the products Californians use every day are safe from hazardous chemicals is one of my top priorities, and that is exactly why I signed legislation last year to build the nation's most comprehensive Green Chemistry program," California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says in a Dec. 14 statement. "In addition to improving California's ability to remove toxins from products, this agreement is a fantastic example of how subnational governments can take action to make real changes. I look forward to collaborating with more partners to further our goal of ensuring all products are safe for consumer use."
