To the United States Senate and House of Representatives:
Your action is needed to protect American families from toxic chemicals. I urge you to pass the Safe Chemicals Act today.
In recent decades, the incidence of early puberty, certain childhood cancers, infertility, and learning and developmental disabilities has increased—sometimes at alarming rates. Scientific studies demonstrate that toxic chemicals we are exposed to every day can significantly increase the risk of developing these and other diseases and disorders.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show that exposure to toxic chemicals begins in the womb. Most pregnant American women have numerous toxic chemicals in their bodies, some of which are already known to have adverse impacts on the health of their developing babies. This is unacceptable.
Congress has an obligation to pass a law that will protect our families from harmful chemicals.
We call on Congress to make the right choice for America’s families. Pass the Safe Chemicals Act now.
Why is this important?
Action is needed to protect American families from toxic chemicals. Early puberty, childhood cancer, infertility, and learning and developmental disabilities are rising at alarming rates. Studies show links between toxic chemicals we’re exposed to every day and many of these negative health trends. Almost all pregnant women in America contain toxic chemicals in their bodies. The laws on the books do not protect the health of our kids and families.
This is unacceptable. Tell Congress to Act Now.
