Women for a Healthy Environment

Yesterday, Alexis O'Donnell, WHE policy coordinator, joined Clean Water Action - Pennsylvania in Harrisburg to meet with legislators on HB 2145 (a bill banning PFAS in the manufacture of many household products, including cosmetics, dental floss, infant and children’s products, and menstrual pads). The team had great conversations with Rep. Gregory Scott and others about moving this bill forward as it goes to the Senate. We urge all PA senators to support the bill and protect PA from PFAS.

Protecting our health from toxic chemicals should be a top priority for Congress but new proposals are threatening our safety.

Thankfully, advocates, health professionals, veterans, and community leaders from the for Health and Safe Chemicals are meeting with Congress to ensure our nation’s main chemical safety law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is preserved.

TSCA requires the Environmental Protection Agency to review chemicals for safety before they’re widely used in products found in our homes, schools and workplaces. Strong chemical safeguards protect all of us – and they’re worth speaking up for.
