GOAL 7 – REDUCE OR ELIMINATE WIDESPREAD USE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS.
More than 100,000 chemical substances are produced worldwide–they are present in most of the products we use daily–yet very few have been tested adequately to identify their potential adverse health effects from production, transport, use and disposal.

Congress and the President should advance legislation to establish a comprehensive chemicals policy that is grounded in the fundamental principles of precaution, substituting safer alternatives and right-to-know in order to ensure the health protection of workers, their families and communities and natural ecosystems.
