Performance Test

P2OASys allows companies to assess the potential environmental, worker, and public health impacts of alternative technologies aimed at reducing toxics use. The goal is more comprehensive and systematic thinking about the potential hazards posed by current and alternative processes identified during the TUR planning process.

Collect data from external sources, and inputs both quantitative and qualitative data on the chemical toxicity, ecological effects, physical properties, and changes in work organization likely as a result of a proposed option (chemical or product of interest). The tool also allows the user to set data certainty and weighting factors for each endpoint.
