Toxic-Free Living
Healthy living starts at home! Learn about toxics and potential health risks in common household products.
Protecting Children from Chemicals that Pose a Risk
Children’s health is shaped by the environments where they live, play, and learn. Many families, especially those in lower-income and communities of color, face higher risks from everyday exposures to toxic chemicals found in pesticides, home cleaning products, outdated appliances, and personal care items like cosmetics and hair products. Our goal is to give people and communities the tools, strategies, and resources to create safer, healthier spaces for children and their families. Our purpose is to empower people to reduce harmful exposures in homes, schools, and outdoor environments. Together, we can ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up in a healthy, supportive environment.
