About the Project

The Chemical Footprint Project develops and advances the concept and practice of chemical footprinting with the goal of reducing the use of chemicals of high concern.

About the Project

The connections between hazardous chemicals, consumer products, and human and environmental health are increasingly apparent. The complexity of chemical hazard, which encompasses a wide range of health impacts by thousands of chemicals, has made it challenging to measure the use and reduction of chemicals of high concern. However, similiar to carbon footprinting in the field of climate change, chemical footprinting offers a unified metric that is at once scientifically robust, comprehensive, and straightforward to implement.

A chemical footprint is the total mass of chemicals of high concern (CoHCs) used by an event, organization, service, building, or product.

The Chemical Footprint Project Survey evaluates responders' chemicals management systems against best practice to measure and reduce chemical footprints.
