Dental Chemical Use
By GreenBiz Staff

Developed by the Western Regional Pollution Prevention Network, this website aims to help dental professionals make informed choices about their chemical selection and use. Its resources may also assist pollution prevention specialists in their outreach efforts.

The site bases much of its information on an extensive study of dental practices in an effort to "identify, characterize, and quantify chemicals used by dental professionals for radiography, infection control, and restorative work." The research is based on surveys of more than 100 dental offices in the San Francisco Bay area. On the site, find survey details and presentations based on the results of the San Francisco study.

In addition, find downloadable fact sheets and technical briefs on topics ranging from instrument sterilizers to work surface disinfectants. The site also includes links to reference publications and other Web sites of interest to dental professionals.
