Tell Congress: Stop the chemical industry from rolling back our health protections

Every family deserves protection from toxic chemicals in the products we buy, the water we drink, and the food we eat

But powerful chemical corporations are pushing to undermine basic health protections from toxic chemicals that contaminate our food, drinking water and communities.

In 2016, lawmakers worked across party lines to update our broken chemical safety law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Those reforms finally gave EPA the tools it had needed for decades to stop dangerous chemicals like asbestos and protected states’ rights to act when Washington, D.C. doesn’t.

The updated law has resulted in bans on chemicals like asbestos and the deadly solvents trichloroethylene (TCE) and methylene chloride. It requires more health and safety data before a chemical can be sold or used. And states can protect the health of their communities by banning chemicals like PFAS. 

Proposed bills would:

• Make it easier for chemical corporations to get new dangerous chemicals like PFAS on the market and make it harder for EPA to ban deadly chemicals like methylene chloride and trichloroethylene (TCE)
• Hide more chemical ingredient information and remove safety requirements that protect the health of families, workers, and communities.
• Undermine states’ rights to ban harmful chemicals in products and protect their water, food and communities.

Your representatives in Congress need to hear from you that this law will roll back protections and make Americans sicker.
