Moving from toxic chemicals to safer alternatives

The problem: Throughout our lives, we’re exposed to toxic chemicals in our food, water, air and homes — often all at once — because protections are too weak. These hazardous chemicals harm children’s development and increase our risk of cancer and asthma. Living or working near factories manufacturing these chemicals puts people at even greater risk.

What we’re doing about it: We work with community advocates, scientists and decision makers to phase out hazardous ingredients and move to safer substitutes — and to make sure new technologies protect people and the planet. We also push for stronger oversight to protect people from being exposed to multiple toxic chemicals, from many sources, over time.
