Pollution Prevention -- In-plant practices that reduce, avoid, or eliminate the

generation of hazardous waste or the release of toxic chemicals at their source.  Pollution

prevention does not include activities taken at locations away from the pollution-generating

activity, such as recycling or treatment, concentrating the hazardous or toxic content of waste,

reducing volume, or dilution.
