Thank you @asmtasha for your leadership. We look forward to @CAgovernor signing this important bill before ratepayers are saddled with the costs of microbeads in drinking water. @GavinNewsom

Let’s get #PFAS out of our food @rachaelray. Let’s work together to protect our families.

BEAUTY JUSTICE = HEALTH JUSTICE
Hair products marketed to communities of color often contain harmful chemicals. NY is considering new legislation for safer standards—and we’re covering it.

I just wrote a @bcppartners letter: Get Toxic DEHP out of IV Bags and Tubing!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/ge… Please take a couple of minutes and do the same! Patients shouldn’t be exposed to carcinogens when they are receiving care in CA health facilities #nurses

I got my start in politics by advocating for consumer safety. Many years later, the fight continues.
Thanks to @BCPPartners for stopping by to chat about how to ban dangerous chemicals from beauty and personal care products.
We won’t stop until all products are safe!

Up to 70% of IVs are made with DEHP that can block #cancer treatments & make cancer cells ‘immortal.’ It sounds insane because it is.
Read the report & tell your CA state senator to support the Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act. @BCPPartners @yourcbhn bit.ly/ToxicFreeIV

Have you ever had an IV? Do you know someone currently receiving IV treatments?
Read @BCPPartners new report, “Toxic-Free IV: Getting Harmful Chemicals Out of IV Bags and Tubing,” and tell your California state senators to support #ToxicFreeIV. bit.ly/ToxicFreeIV

Must read: @ProjectTENDR new report summarizing evidence of widespread fetal and early childhood exposures to plastics and resulting harm to children’s brains and recommendations to strengthen the global treaty on plastics pollution #PlasticsTreaty projecttendr.thearc.org/wp-c…

A team of Norwegian and Swiss researchers is recommending policy makers adopt a hazard- and group-based approach to regulating #chemicals in #plastics, after finding only 6% of the 16,000 chemicals they assessed are subject to international regulation. product.enhesa.com/1020400/s…

Testifying now before the California Assembly on a bill to ban #DEHP in medical devices @TraceyJWoodruff shares the science of why removing harmful chemicals from medical treatment is so important.

Legal technicalities aside, let's be clear - the court agreed with EPA’s view that fluorinating plastic containers because it creates #PFAS is a danger to human health. So its really important this polluting plastic manufacturing process gets stopped ASAP.theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

Another reason to support the bill that will ban these chemicals in anything that contacts food!! bcpp.org/take-action/stop-to…
Most US sandwich baggies contain toxic #PFAS ‘forever chemicals’, analysis says. @PomTerkins

4/4: Good place to start (for US residents): support this federal bill. bcpp.org/take-action/stop-to…
Breast Cancer Prevention Partners BCPP retweeted
3/4 Third imperative: New ways to regulate plastic chemicals are needed, including a group approach (treating related plastic chemicals of concern uniformly) and identifying groups based on hazard (focusing on dangerous chemical groups).
Breast Cancer Prevention Partners BCPP retweeted
2/4 Second scary fact: More than 400 chemicals of concern can be present in each major plastic type, including in food packaging, and all of the tested plastics leached hazardous chemicals.
Breast Cancer Prevention Partners BCPP retweeted
1/4 Bombshell new report on plastics and toxic chemicals:
plastchem-project.org/. First scary fact: At least 4,200 plastic chemicals (or 26%) are of concern because of their high hazards to human health and the environment.

Indeed big thanks @NancySkinnerCA for this hugely important bill #SB903 to stop toxic #PFAS. PFAS is linked to #BreastCancer, which will hit over 32,000 people in CA this year bit.ly/PFASScience. Proud to work with @CASA_CleanWater @cleanh2oca @EWG @NRDC
NEW: Today, I announced the introduction of #SB903, the Ending Forever Chemicals Act. SB 903 would prevent the unnecessary sale and use of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — toxic chemicals commonly known as “PFAS” in CA by 2030.
