Dear Friend,
Toxic pollution is all around us – that’s why Earthjustice goes to court to remove toxic chemicals and products from our daily lives. We advocate for people's health by pushing for strong rules to protect communities from pesticide and other toxic chemicals, fight to get toxic chemicals out of consumer products and keep them off the market, and we clean up contamination in our environment and communities by going to court and ensuring that the government and corporations alike are following the law.
With your help, we have been able to advocate for stronger protections and reforms in regulations dealing with toxic chemicals. But there is more work to be done.
We will need your help to continue this fight – you can do that today by clicking here to take all the actions below.

Get these “forever chemicals” out of our drinking water
Every day, millions of people across the country drink water contaminated with toxic chemicals known as PFAS. After years of inaction by the federal government, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed long-overdue limits on six PFAS in drinking water. EPA’s proposal would prevent thousands of PFAS-linked deaths and serious illnesses. Join us in supporting strong PFAS drinking water standards and opposing industry’s efforts to weaken these necessary protections.

Clean up toxic coal ash pits
When coal is burned to produce electricity, a toxic waste known as coal ash is left behind. Filled with hazardous metals and toxic pollutants such as arsenic, lithium, lead, and other carcinogens and neurotoxins, coal ash poisons our water, sickens our bodies, and kills fish and wildlife. We successfully pushed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate toxic coal ash, now we have the opportunity to ensure that polluters are required to clean up all their coal ash. Tell the Environmental Protection Agency: Time to close the loophole that left over half a billion tons of toxic coal ash in landfills and ponds exempt from federal oversight.

Tell Transportation Secretary Buttigieg to write safety rules for trains carrying hazardous materials
We need common-sense safety rules for trains carrying hazardous materials. A train carrying toxic vinyl chloride, an input in making plastic, derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, contaminating the environment and exposing residents to toxic gases linked to serious health harm. Urge Transportation Secretary Buttigieg to immediately start writing commonsense safety rules for trains carrying hazardous materials.

Protect communities and workers from this toxic pollutant
More than 14 million people in the United States live near facilities emitting cancer-causing ethylene oxide pollution. Ethylene oxide is a flammable colorless gas that companies use to make plastics, household cleaners, personal care items, and fabrics. Tell the EPA it’s time to protect people from ethylene oxide.
