Toxic threats

It’s up to us to protect our ecosystems and communities from toxic chemicals.

Most of the 80,000 chemicals on the market in the United States have been put into use without testing long-term consequences for the environment, or their impacts on our health.

And if an industry makes a toxic mess, we should know right away, and they should be the ones to pay for cleaning it up.
