Thank you @phoebesaid for this important story. We at @ConsumerReports-@CRAdvocacy stand with @Green_Science @IAFFofficial and all who think fire safety measures should also prioritize long-term public health—and not drive exposure to harmful chemicals. Time for @NHTSAgov to act.
News for anyone who cares about children. A bipartisan fight for action.

"It is a false choice to choose between renewable energy and less #PFAS pollution," said Ariana Spentzos of @Green_Science.
Advocates urge lithium-ion battery producers to reconsider materials to prevent new PFAS pollution.

For years, I wished someone inside 3M could give me insight into the company’s decision to keep making and selling “forever chemicals” even though they were accumulating in people. Then I met Kris Hansen... propublica.org/article/3m-fo…

Most car seats are treated with flame-retardant chemicals due to a federal fire safety standard, but a new study suggests that drivers may be inhaling toxic chemicals from them.

I had a great time speaking with @annawerner on @CBSMornings about our new study on flame retardants in cars. They're in your...my...every vehicle.
There’s new concern about toxic chemicals coming from the seats inside cars. Most are treated with flame-retardant chemicals — and a new study found drivers may be breathing them in.
@annawerner shares what you can do to protect yourself.
