Hi, folks. 


On behalf of EDF, Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, the Center for Environmental Health and EWG, I’m writing to ask groups to sign on to this letter calling on Administrator Pruitt and EPA to ban the toxic chemical trichloroethylene, or TCE.

 

In the final months of the Obama administration, EPA recommended banning TCE in vapor degreasing, aerosol degreasing and spot cleaning products. It is contaminating water sources and military bases across the country and is known to cause cancer, birth defects and other serious health issues.

 

The sign-on letter (here) calls on Pruitt to finally enact the proposed ban and protect vulnerable Americans. We would love your support. You can sign on here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe75PuVCe8zb7gaAq79XJcogEzi21bAJt8kEOiG0ds2mXxZ6Q/viewform?usp=sf_link


We plan to release this letter the week of July 9 – and will share the complete list of signers and sample social when it’s final.


Thanks much,


Alex
