Of the over 80,000 chemicals in commerce, few are well-studied and fewer still are restricted. Chemicals common to household cleaning and children's products are scientifically linked to pediatric diseases and disorders of environmental origin. Examples include asthma, cancer, learning and developmental disabilities, genetic malformations, early puberty and infertility.
The good news is that diseases of environmental origin are preventable; we simply need better laws and regulations to require disclosure of toxic chemicals, so that consumers can make smart choices to protect themselves and their families. We're calling on New York State's leaders to require companies to make this information public. Will you join us?
