THE HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE
RESEARCH CENTERS
The Hazardous Substance Research Cen-ters (HSRC) are a national
organization that
actively conducts basic and applied research, technology transfer, and
training. Our
projects are conducted regionally by five multi-university centers,
which focus on
different aspects of hazardous substance management. In addition to
conducting
research, which includes practical problems of hazardous substance
management as well
as long-term, exploratory research, the HSRCs offer technical assistance
through the
TOSC and TAB programs to communities impacted by hazardous waste issues.

DOES YOUR COMMUNITY QUALIFY?

Communities with the following characteristics are most likely to
qualify for technical assistance through the TOSC program:

• Environmental contamination issues
• Human health protection issues
• High community interest in the issue
• Good community organization
• Multiple requests for TOSC assistance

TOSC is a non-advocate technical assistance program supported by the
Hazardous Substance
Research Centers (HSRCs) and provided at no cost to communities. The
HSRCs conduct basic
and applied research, technology transfer, and training focused on
various aspects of hazardous
substance management.
