EWG

Great news, friend!

Since alerting the public last week of the news that EWG has found dangerous levels of PFAS in freshwater fish, we’ve had an incredible outpouring of support. More than 2,400 people have already taken our survey, but we haven’t heard from you:

Should the EPA BAN PFAS chemicals?

YES

Eating just one freshwater fish per year could be equal to one month of drinking PFOS-contaminated water, according to EWG’s findings. But the American Chemistry Council and their friends at DuPont and 3M want to diminish these results, at the risk of everyone’s health. Please take our quick survey by midnight tonight and help EWG protect our health from cancer-linked PFAS!

Thanks for your feedback, friend.

BREAKING: EWG finds alarming levels of PFAS in fish across the United States!
The American Chemistry Council is attacking our work. Can we count on you to stand with us?

TAKE OUR SURVEY

This is serious, friend.

EWG scientists have found that consuming a single freshwater fish per year could be equal to one month of drinking water contaminated with harmful PFOS, one of the infamously dangerous “forever chemicals” known as PFAS.

But the American Chemistry Council, the chemical industry’s lobbying front-group, is calling the news around our report “inaccurate”, “unscientific” and accusing the media of “creating unnecessary alarm.”

Chemical giants like DuPont and 3M have known these chemicals were toxic since the 1960s, and EWG has been sounding the alarm on dangerous PFAS for decades. Finally the media and the government are taking notice and creating change. We can’t let the chemical industry stop our progress.

We need 5,322 of our top supporters to respond to our survey before midnight tonight to help us formulate our 2023 action plan on PFAS. Can we count on you to step up?

Should the EPA BAN PFAS chemicals?

YES

Thanks for your support, friend.
