Healthy schools that are free from toxic chemicals are critical to children's health. Unfortunately school building materials and products can contain chemicals harmful to children's health that have been linked to asthma, learning and developmental disabilities, cancer and other serious health problems on the rise. For example, hazardous chemicals and materials like mercury, phthalates, vinyl and halogenated flame retardants have been found in lighting, flooring, office supplies, and/or other products in schools. The good news is safer and affordable alternatives are available for schools and parents to use and purchase.
Learn how you can encourage your school to be greener and healthier by launching an environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) program.
