America's priority towards a safe and clean environment is sliding down hill.

EPA'S FAILURE TO TEST HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS

World Future Fund Report on Chemical Testing Failure

America's track record on testing poisonous chemicals has been one of complete neglect to public health and safety.

The EPA reported in 2007 that: "of the (top) 3,000 chemicals imported or produced by the United States,

43% of these high production volume chemicals (HPV) have no testing data".

There needs to be a real commitment to protecting the public against hazardous chemicals.
