Our air, water and household products are too often tainted with pollutants or toxic chemicals.
We're working to protect American families by strengthening and defending policies and greater corporate responsibility. We're determined to advance on both fronts, fighting threats to progress.
-Fight for cleaner air
Why: Significant reductions in air pollutants will save thousands of lives – especially in at-risk communities.
How: We're focused on defending existing clean air standards and closing the policy loopholes that expose many Americans to air pollution.
-Improve oversight and safety of chemicals
Why: Thousands of chemicals are in everyday products and in food, and thousands of communities have lead in their water.
How: Ensure reforms live up to their promise, empower retailers to use safer additives and take on potential sources of lead exposure.
-Encourage corporate action
Why: Companies can go beyond the law to remove hazardous chemicals from products on store shelves and drive demand for safer chemicals.
How: Work with major retailers like Walmart to take significant steps toward reducing chemicals of concern in the products they sell.
