Coalition for a Safe & Healthy Connecticut

Coalition for a Safe & Healthy Connecticut Our mission is to correct the fundamental flaws in government policies that allow harm to our health and environment.

The Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Connecticut is comprised of
citizens , health professionals, workers , environmental justice groups
educators, and others seeking preventive action on toxic hazards. Unfortunately, current environmental and health policies do not protect us. There is growing consensus that exposure to toxic chemicals in products we use every day are linked to the increased in

cidence of many serious diseases. Coalition partners are committed to raising awareness of the health impacts associated with toxins found in every day products and establishing new government policies to reduce exposure and protect public health. With over 83,000 chemicals in commerce, we must move beyond banning one chemical at a time. We advocate for health protective policies where chemicals of concern are phased out of certain products as soon as safer alternatives are available. If you or your organization would like to join the Coalition, request a presentation or would like more information, please contact Anne or Susan at 860-232-6232.

PFAS chemicals should not be used to make your takeout salad bowl or sandwich wrapper resistant to oil and water when safer alternatives exist.

Good news from Best Buy!!! We don't need toxic chemicals in casings of electronics. They leak out, get into air and dust and are harmful to health. Time for Amazon and other big TV makers to do the same!!
