The future of the disarmament agenda is on the line now as New START ratification moves forward in the US Senate.
Current laws are not protecting us from toxic chemical exposure. Children’s jewelry containing cadmium hangs around kids’ necks; people eat canned food with high levels of the endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A; and furniture off-gassing carcinogenic formaldehyde may be the centerpiece of your living room. More must be done to protect the public from the entirely preventable risks posed by exposures to these and other industrial chemicals.
Fortunately, the Toxic Chemical Safety Act was just introduced in Congress. It aims to protect people from harmful chemicals by overhauling the outdated Toxic Substances Control Act. The current draft of the bill is missing some key provisions, though, like ensuring that chemicals are tested for safety before they are allowed on the market, and phasing out the worst chemicals first. Your congressperson needs to hear from you that protecting health is important – and that strengthening chemical policies will improve the health of Americans by preventing exposures to harmful chemicals.
Take Action »Coal ash is toxic, widespread, and leaking. Tell the EPA today that this problem requires effective, mandatory federal regulation.
