Take action on chemical pollution

A cocktail of synthetic chemicals has contaminated every corner of the planet. These chemicals can impact people’s health, wildlife, and the environment.

Some of these chemicals can interfere with our body’s sensitive hormone messaging system (called endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs). Others can pollute our environment long after they have been used, threatening the wellbeing of wildlife. Certain chemicals have been linked to serious health impacts, such as some hormone-related cancers and reproductive issues.

Current chemicals laws are not up to the job of protecting us from harmful chemicals, and so we need the UK Government to act.

You can write to your MP urging them to take action on chemical pollution.
