into the air, which may or may not be toxic. Generally people do not think about these things because they trust the FDA and

presentation. Our agency strongly believes that further education on recycling, hazardous waste, and other dangerous
chemical usage is needed for the Russian-speaking community. The knowledge of proper recycling and chemical usage will
benefits not only our local community members, but the planet as a whole.
