Protect kids from toxics

Chronic disease is on the rise. In order to protect our community’s most vulnerable—infants and children—our health officials need to know where and how kids are exposed to carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and other harmful chemicals. And we need to replace these chemicals with safer alternatives. The Toxics Disclosure for Healthy Kids Act (HB 3162) is an important step for Oregon.  

Sign our petition asking legislators to support Toxics Disclosure for Healthy Kids.
