Safer Alternatives Bill Fact Sheet

More than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced for use in the US since World War II.  Yet very few of these have ever been adequately tested for their potential impact on our health.  Scientific evidence increasingly indicates that toxic chemicals contribute to this epidemic of diseases and disorders.  Clean Water Action is supporting “An Act for a Competitive Economy Through Safer Alternatives to Toxic Chemicals” which will establish a pragmatic, gradual approach to reducing health impacts from many toxic chemicals we are exposed to in everyday life.

Learn more about our everyday exposures to toxic chemicals, the details of the Safer Alternatives Bill and what you can do to help pass it.
