SUMMARY:Safer Alternatives for Toxic Solvents - Graffiti Management
DESCRIPTION:A series of four (4) trainings will be given by Katy Wolf\, Ph.D. and hosted by greenUP! \nThis session will describe the graffiti removers on the market today. Millions of dollars are spent each year on graffiti control by cities and counties and safer alternatives are available. It will include a discussion of three alternative safer graffiti removers that were formulated and tested by the Institute for Research and Technical Assistance (IRTA)\, a nonprofit organization during an EPA project conducted in California. It will also include a description of many other processes and technologies that can be used for graffiti management. The costs of the alternatives will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Safer Alternatives for Toxic Solvents - Auto Repair Facilities
DESCRIPTION:A series of four (4) trainings will be given by Katy Wolf\, Ph.D. and hosted by greenUP! \nThis session will target the mineral spirits used in parts cleaners and the halogenated and nonhalogenated solvents used in auto aerosol cleaners today. Many of these formulations have high VOC content and many pose toxicity problems. It will focus on the water-based cleaning formulation alternatives for parts cleaning\, water-based brake cleaning formulations and equipment and safer formulations for other aerosol cleaners that were formulated and tested by IRTA in California auto repair facilities. The costs of the alternatives will be presented and discussed.
