Pollution prevention practices include procuring non-toxic, and/or green certified products for cleaning and pest management. UCLA Health implements an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Prevention Policy, which prevents and responds to pest problems with strategies and methods that pose the least possible hazard to building occupants and the environment. Effective pest control, with minimal exposure risk, is achieved by prioritizing non-chemical pest management strategies, such as pest exclusion through sanitation and maintenance. Daily use cleaners, such as High performance neutral floor cleaner, and Foam free n clean hand soap, are certified by Green Seal. Last but not least, one-time use disposable batteries were replaced with rechargeable batteries.
