This page displays a collection of environmental and sustainability (green) online videos about health and the environment. Video topics include exposure to toxics in homes, outdoors, and at work, air and water pollution, radioactive substances and waste, pesticides, and food contaminants.

Pollutants and toxic chemicals discharged to the environment can have a dramatic impact on our health. Exposure to toxics and air and water pollution can cause reproductive health problems, birth defects, lung disease, heart disease, cancer, asthma, spread of infectious diseases, and more. By implementing environmental health and safety programs, pollution prevention, and toxic containment and cleanup we minimize our exposure to dangerous substances. We can also make healthy transportation choices that are a win-win for us and the environment.
