US Senate Investigates Chemicals in People
In the past few weeks, EWG staff testified five times to support strong chemical policies at the state and federal levels: in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and the US Senate.
For an overview (and video) of the February 4th US Senate hearing where EWG President Ken Cook testified about the importance of human biomonitoring and the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act, head over to our Kid-Safe policy blog.
Thank you Ken Cook and others at EWG!
Dear Lisa and Ken:
I have been following your work since the first BPA study in 2007 and have become a speaker in the LA area to parenting groups and expectant parents classes about the effects of the toxin. My website is filled with the more important studies/articles and we get quite a bit of traffic regularly.
What I need to know is if you responded to the FDAs intention to basically ignore the problem of BPA, most probably due to pressure from the chemical companies, info that came out at the end of last week. I have several articles I would like to post but would like a response from you to go with them. I would love to hear from you ASAP (sorry for the pressure but this is such an important issue.)
Thank you
Leslye Adelman
