Toxics Links works in many areas which cross-cut across its intervention streams. Such work is related in an integral fashion to the organisation’s core beliefs. Nothing that Toxics Link does in any one field can be totally divorced FROM the issues of the environment, toxics and waste. This section has relevant information which, for want of a better term, falls under a ‘miscellaneous’ umbrella.
