An alliance of leading scientists, health professionals and children’s health advocates with the goal to reduce harmful exposures linked to neurodev. disorders
Just Released: Our new article published today in the American Journal of Public Health shows strong evidence that links air pollution to children’s health. https://t.co/yL68ThzcDe
#DPR takes important step to further protect people from #pesticide chlorpyrifos… New recommendations include no aerial spraying and buffer zones… See details at https://t.co/lbxbubtTIv

Ban entire pesticide class to protect children's health, experts say. Organophosphates (OPs) increases the risk of reduced IQs, memory and attention deficits, and autism for prenatal children. https://t.co/CRR0KyLcIQ #ecofriendly
These pesticides hurt developing young minds, but they’re still used in our homes, parks, schools and hospitals. Time for a ban. https://t.co/PUJBgQaFef
"The results are staggering. The eight researchers who authored the paper found there is no safe level of exposure to any organophosphate pesticide for pregnant women"

"children are not merely little adults. They are uniquely sensitive and keeping them healthy requires special protections." #ProtectKidsHealth https://t.co/0rLKTZberP
@EPA's fight against a ban on #chlorpyrifos prioritizes chemical industry insiders over our children's health #ProtectKidsHealth https://t.co/8uo20TEBw1 https://t.co/pm0Opmk0lx
Major victory! Yesterday a court ruled, ““EPA has no basis to allow continued use of #chlorpyrifos, and its insistence in doing so puts all children at risk.” #protectkidsbrains#banchlorpyrifos https://t.co/VEahs6ZU4J
Excellent summary by @washingtonpost on how environmental #toxins like pesticides, perchlorate, and phthalates pose a risk for pregnant women. The tips at the end of the article from @ProjectTENDR are great, too! https://t.co/1l41OinCPu
RIGHT NOW @EPA is holding a public hearing on the #CensoringScience rule, which would allow the agency to exclude research that shows the health impacts of #pollution because the studies include confidential patient information. #ScienceNotSilence
