Dear friend,

Thanks largely to DuPont and 3M, the blood of nearly every American, including newborn babies, is contaminated with a class of toxic chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects.

These chemical giants have known for decades that their chemicals cause serious health harms, but instead of taking action, they tried to cover up and ignore the evidence. But here’s the kicker: PFAS chemicals do not break down, so they will continue to pollute our bodies and our water for decades and longer unless we take action.

That’s where you come in, friend. Congress is considering legislation that would hold these corporations accountable, but you can be sure companies like DuPont and 3M will fight it tooth and nail. We need your help to send a clear message to Congress: Stand up to the chemical industry and protect our health!

Join EWG and our allies in the fight to stop the PFAS contamination crisis. It’s time to hold companies like DuPont and 3M accountable for their toxic chemicals.

PFAS chemicals are commonly used in nonstick cookware, stain resistant clothing and even grease-resistant food packaging. They can also end up in our drinking water. EWG estimates that PFAS chemicals contaminate the drinking water of up to 110 million Americans.

This all began when DuPont started using an especially toxic PFAS chemical, PFOA, to make Teflon. PFOA is so toxic, DuPont eventually agreed to stop using it. But the replacement chemicals are just as bad – if not worse!

Congress needs to hold companies like DuPont and 3M responsible for contaminating our environment and our bodies!

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to stand up for public health, not chemical industry profits. We demand PFAS regulations now!
