The Legislature finds and declares that, because hazardous substances are an integral part of daily life, it would benefit the public to have access to practical and consistent information concerning chemicals in daily life, products which contain hazardous substances, and proper procedures for the disposal of hazardous substances. This information would improve the ability of all Californians to assist in protecting the state’s natural resources from environmental degradation.
