| Toxics Link is an environmental NGO,
dedicated to bring toxics related information into the public domain,
both relating to struggles and problems at the grassroots as well as global
information to the local levels. We work with other groups around the
country as well as internationally in an understanding that this will
help bring the experience of the ground to the fore, and lead to a more
meaningful articulation of issues.
Toxics Link also engages in on-the ground work especially in areas of
municipal, hazardous and medical waste management and food safety among
others. Working in networks, utilising community outreach and education,
policy analysis, research, training and program development, we work at
the state and central levels to help create solutions, which are driven
by the needs of people. We are also involved in a wider range of environmental
issues in Delhi and outside as part of a coalition of non-governmental
organizations.
Over the years, with hard work and campaigns the organisation could make
a strong awareness among the public and stakeholders about toxicity and
pollution. Now we can interact with policy makers and can direct them
to pro- people and environmental friendly policies.
Toxics Link has a unique expertise in the areas of hazardous, medical
and municipal wastes, as well as in specific issues such as the international
waste trade, and the emerging issues of pesticides and POPs. Now we have
our focus on e-waste and we have already done assessment studies of e-waste
scenarios in major metros in India.
We are based in Delhi with a nodel office in Chennai and from where we
are coordinating our activities in South India. We have a nation wide
network of more than 3000 members.
