Unsafe and untested chemicals in your home

Your home contains materials and products made with toxic chemicals that have never been required to be shown to be safe, some of which could harm your health. But chances are you couldn’t identify them.

Science is only beginning to understand how synthetic chemicals affect our health and the health of our planet, but we've learned even minute amounts of some of them may cause serious harm. The decades-old Toxic Substances Chemicals Control Act (TSCA) keeps you in the dark about what health risks they may pose to you and your family.

But America's toxic chemicals law is badly broken. You can help change that.
