#Phthalates & #bisphenols are commonly used as plastic additives, employed in food packaging and disposable gloves used in food preparation.
#BigAg sprays thousands of gallons of #pesticides on monoculture crops to eliminate weeds/insects & on many
crops after harvest to maintain freshness.

Take action! The chemical industry is pushing a bill that would roll back federal protections from toxic chemicals. Tell Congress: Protect people, not polluters!

EPA said they would NOT regulate #phthalates in consumer products.
This is a big win for Big Chem, and a major loss for American families nationwide who are regularly exposed to phthalates from everyday products, especially flexible #PVC plastic.
Infants, children, & pregnant women are vulnerable.

The EPA had a chance to strengthen protections against toxic #phthalates — chemicals linked to infertility and birth defects.
Instead, they sided with the chemical lobby once again.
American families deserve better. #TSCA

Instead, they sided with industry. Families deserve better. #TSCA #MAHA

Phthalates, or “the everywhere chemical,” are chemicals used to make plastics more flexible, transparent, and durable, also known as a “plasticizer.” They’re common in products like household items, personal care, and food packaging. #Phthalates enter the body through eating or drinking,

There are also potential consequences for human demographics, with the report concluding that if exposure to endocrine disruptors such as #bisphenols and #phthalates persists at current rates, there could be between 200 million and 700 million fewer births between 2025 and 2100.

🔎 Don’t miss this powerful @washingtonpost.com story on the health hazards of #phthalates — and how the chemical industry has put profits over people.
It’s a clear reminder why we must protect #TSCA, especially at a time when EPA is evaluating these toxic chemicals.

There is scientific consensus that #phthalates exposures can harm children's brains, especially contributing to attention problems. This is preventable by prioritizing health in policy actions.

Phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DEP) were detected in drinking water in Isfahan; levels were generally safe, but higher in summer and in areas with plastic pipes. #EnvironmentalHealth #WaterSafety #Phthalates

📄 A new report by @global2000.bsky.social and AK ÖO has found alarming levels of harmful chemicals in clothing from Shein and Temu.
👚 They tested 20 items, and 7 showed levels that were well above permitted limits.
🧪 Chemicals detected included #PFAS and #phthalates.
