Toxics
There are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market in the United States, most of them put directly into use without testing the long-term consequences for our health or their impact on our environment.
PIRG is working to protect our health by making polluters pay for the toxic messes they create, and eliminating the use of toxic chemicals that threaten our health and our communities.
Priorities
Clean water
Together we can protect the waterways that sustain our communities and our health.
Pesticides
The chemicals used to grow our food and maintain our parks and playgrounds are putting our health at risk.
Pesticide Free Future
Toxic threats
The chemicals used in everything from perfumes to cleaners to fertilizers should make our lives better — not harm our health or our environment.
