PFAS manufacturers hid the harms of their product for decades and we're seeing more and more communities have to grapple with this toxic contamination. One solution? Remove industry influence from regulatory processes. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Exposure to pollution is a choice, former EPA experts say in a new report. And Trump’s EPA is choosing to make Americans sicker.

No one should have to worry about harmful chemicals in the water they drink or the food they eat. Our 2026 analysis finds at least 33 states are stepping up to address #PFAS, plastics, and other toxic chemicals. #StatesInTheLead Read more here: www.saferstates.org/press-room/e...

House Republicans say America’s premier chemical safety law is stifling innovation. Advocates disagree. Innovation “cannot come at the cost of future babies who will be born with plastics and plastic chemicals in their bodies,” said @plasticpollutes.bsky.social. www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/tsca...

NIEHS's only journal, Environmental Health Perspectives, has been removed from the web. EHP is one of just a few federally supported journals. While still findable on PubMed Central, the future of the over 18,000 items published by EHP is unclear. envirodatagov.org/niehss-only-...

webinar Thurs. Dec. 11: Corporate influence on science in a shifting political landscape www.healthandenvironment.org/che-webinars...

The chemical lobby has been spending millions of dollars to change the Toxic Substances Control Act. That's the main law that works to protect people from harmful chemicals. What does industry want? They want less oversight and less concern for your health. #badidea

🚨A report commissioned by @healthandenv.bsky.social highlights link between harmful #ChemicalPollution and rising #infertility and hormonal #cancer rates amongst European men. 🧪Key chemicals of concern include endocrine disruptors, #PFAS, and heavy metals. More in our news story👉 buff.ly/iRljN9V

For decades, researchers warned about chemicals harming children's health. Few listened. Now Kennedy's in the Trump admin, championing similar concerns. Birnbaum calls it a "dance with the devil", risky, but an opportunity too significant to ignore.

The EPA just approved the pesticide cyclobutrifluram for golf courses, lawns, cotton, soybeans, and lettuce. It's another #ForeverChemical — one of a group called #PFAS. Despite the vast agency furloughs, the pesticide office remains open for business. Read on ➡️ bit.ly/47qlFKO

Did you know that more than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the US every year? And they don't just disappear. They pollute the air, water, and soil long after they're applied. Tell the EPA to ban #pesticides that other countries already consider too dangerous to use ➡️ bit.ly/4otOUCz

Please join Beyond Plastics Science Director @trishavv.bsky.social, @amizota.bsky.social of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, and Ryan Babadi of @toxicfreefuture.bsky.social on Nov. 12 for a free webinar about toxic chemicals in plastics. www.beyondplastics.org/events/toxic...

NEW An EPA report found that PFNA, a chemical in the drinking water of some 26M people, interferes with development and likely causes liver problems & male reproductive harms. The report was done in April, scientists told me. But the agency hasn't released it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

BOBBY JR. DOESN'T CARE ABOUT TOXINS Many microplastics are carcinogens and endocrine disrupters "One researcher told NPR that she’d had a federal grant canceled on the very same day RFK Jr. had favorably cited her work on microplastics in seafood in a speech." www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Over half of US counties lack a single federally-monitored air quality station, with more than 50 million Americans living in “air quality monitoring deserts.” @stoptoxics.bsky.social @cleanairclub.bsky.social @cleanaircatf.bsky.social www.thenewlede.org/2025/08/oil-...

NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin reports that Jim O'Neill (acting director of CDC) thinks that "FDA should put medicines in the market and let consumers assume the risks." So, basically do for drugs what we are doing for toxic chemicals. Guess what, it's a bad idea for both. www.npr.org/2025/08/29/g...

The fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists attending the plastics treaty negotiations outnumber the combined diplomatic delegations of all 27 European Union nations and the EU combined... www.ciel.org/news/inc-5-2... #plasticstreaty

Plastics pose a “grave” threat to human health, costing society $1.5 trillion a year, warns a new @thelancet.com report. Scientists urge negotiators in Geneva to center health in the global plastics treaty. @bostoncollege.bsky.social @sejorg.bsky.social www.thenewlede.org/2025/08/lanc...

to absolutely nobody’s surprise, the US is defending the interests of the petrochemical bloc

🚨 A new @ucsfhealth.bsky.social study finds pregnant women exposed to a toxic clothing dye called o-anisidine are more likely to develop gestational diabetes, especially when carrying a male fetus. @sejorg.bsky.social @ceh.org www.thenewlede.org/2025/06/clot...

“Where are they falling short in their testing? The answer is everywhere,” said Jerry Heindel, director of @heeds.bsky.social. Scientists say the FDA must fix food packaging rules for #MAHA to have a real impact. www.thenewlede.org/2025/06/fda-...
