Ask Congress to Strengthen the Safe Chemicals Act
Legislation to overhaul the nation's failed chemical law has been introduced in Congress by Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Congressmen Bobby Rush (D-IL) and Henry Waxman (D-CA). The Safe Chemicals Act is landmark legislation that will overhaul the way the government protects people from toxic chemicals.
The Safe Chemicals Act goes a long way toward bringing chemical policy into the 21st century. It would put public health first, provide better information to businesses, and help consumers like you to avoid toxic chemicals in every day products.
This important bill has room for improvement, and with your help we're confident it can be fixed. We want to work with Congress to strengthen the bill to make it harder for new harmful chemicals to enter the marketplace and to phase out the "most wanted" chemicals such as Persistent, Bioaccumulative Toxic Chemicals.
