Assessing the Impact of Relevant Toxic Release Information

This study examined how business students (n = 276) responded to toxic release information. The results were surprising demonstrating that toxic release volumes did not arouse concerns about pollution problems or interests in environmental citizenship or collective action behaviors. A disposition model using an attitudes measure presented a better explanation of intended proenvironmental behaviors. The causes for these results and future research are discussed.
