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

#Airpollution hurts our kids’ brains, period. Time for stronger – not weaker – regulation to protect them. #ProtectKidsHealth https://t.co/dDX3OmPNdQ

Organophosphate pesticides endanger our kids. Time for a ban.

The problem is so much bigger than just the EPA's refusal to ban chlorpyrifos. https://t.co/QJELTk8RtI

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

[Project TENDR @ProjectTENDR]

Our new paper shows the most widely used class of pesticides threaten kids - at levels previously considered safe. https://t.co/PUJBgQaFef

[Project TENDR @ProjectTENDR]

"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"

@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

[Project TENDR @ProjectTENDR]

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

[Healthy Babies Bright Futures @HBBForg]

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

[Project TENDR @ProjectTENDR]

#censoringscience could lead to increased exposure to dangerous toxins – from air pollution to lead to pesticides. Today #ProjectTENDR members are @EPA public hearing. Read the comment letter here. #sciencenotsilence #protectkidshealth https://t.co/WDXJzN9Brq

[Children's Environmental Health Network @CEHN]

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
