Toxic chemicals are in our everyday surroundings, including household products, food and water.
We're working to protect health by reducing exposures to these substances.
What we're doing about it
Defending our chemical safety law »
In 2016, we helped get a badly needed update to the decades-old federal law. We're working to make sure the revamped law protects us.
Making our consumer products safer »
With our help, Walmart – the world's largest retailer – is taking millions of pounds of hazardous chemicals out of products we use every day.
Using tech to reveal chemicals around us »
There's little data about which chemicals we're exposed to every day. Technology like chemical-detecting wristbands is helping us learn more.
Getting harmful chemicals out of our food »
We're working to make food safer by strengthening policies and working with retailers and grocers to remove hazardous chemicals.
Reducing our kids' exposure to toxic lead »
America’s toxic legacy of lead continues to threaten children’s health. We’re taking on the major sources of lead exposure.
