"In July of 2005, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requested that the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) conduct a scientific study to assess safer alternatives for the following five toxic or hazardous chemicals:
Lead
Formaldehyde
Perchloroethylene (PCE)
Hexavalent chromium
di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)
TURI developed an “alternatives assessment” methodology that was used to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental, health and safety feasibility of alternatives to the five chemicals for selected uses. "
