Why we need to do this: We’re getting sicker and part of the reason is chemicals

I didn’t know that the dose is
only one part of the problem: there are also low
dose effects, mixtures, synergies, timing,
sensitivities and long delays between exposure and visible effects including
multigenerational effects.

But if Congress won’t act, we need to do it ourselves

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 80,000 different chemicals have been produced and used since TSCA became law in 1976. 62,000 of these chemicals were grandfathered in when TSCA became law with no requirement that they be tested and shown to be safe. In the 36 years that TSCA has been the federal law on chemicals, EPA has required testing on just 200 chemicals. When EPA was prevented from using TSCA to restrict asbestos 21 years ago, it gave up trying.

The U.S. Chemical Industry Today
The chemical industry is an important part of U.S. manufacturing, contributing $273 billion to GDP ($390 billion if we include the plastics sector).
But employment in the chemical industry has been declining sharply over the past few decades, despite the fact that the value of production has been growing 4% per year.
