Major victory! Yesterday a court ruled, ““EPA has no basis to allow continued use of #chlorpyrifos, and its insistence in doing so puts all children at risk.” #protectkidsbrains #banchlorpyrifos bit.ly/2AXun5X

Scott Pruitt Refused To Ban This Brain-Damaging Pesticide. A Court Just Overruled The EPA.

Pediatricians warned that keeping it on the market put "all children at risk."

Excellent summary by @washingtonpost on how environmental #toxins like pesticides, perchlorate, and phthalates pose a risk for pregnant women. The tips at the end of the article from @ProjectTENDR are great, too! washingtonpost.com/national/…

Environmental toxins are seen as posing risks during pregnancy

Experts worry about chemicals in plastics, vehicle exhaust and some cosmetics additives.

#censoringscience could lead to increased exposure to dangerous toxins – from air pollution to lead to pesticides. Today #ProjectTENDR members are @EPA public hearing. Read the comment letter here. #sciencenotsilence #protectkidshealth bit.ly/2mrxg57

RIGHT NOW @EPA is holding a public hearing on the #CensoringScience rule, which would allow the agency to exclude research that shows the health impacts of #pollution because the studies include confidential patient information. #ScienceNotSilence

We rely on scientific studies to tell us which chemicals are toxic to children’s health and development – tell @EPA that we need #sciencenotsilence #protectkidshealth bit.ly/2mrxg57
