What is the Role of Public Awareness in Minimization?
Public awareness is crucial for effective minimization. Educating the public about the sources and risks of toxic substances empowers individuals to take protective measures. Campaigns and educational programs can encourage safer practices, such as proper handling and disposal of chemicals, reducing the use of hazardous products, and advocating for safer alternatives. Increased awareness can lead to greater community involvement in decision-making processes related to environmental health and safety.
