We just released new data on toxic chemicals in new cars on HealthyStuff.org. The “new car smell” is actually the smell of toxic chemicals off-gassing from interior auto parts such as the seating, dashboards and vehicle trim. Take action today to make cars and other products healthier!

The Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 will improve everyday products, including vehicle by:

* Phasing-out the most dangerous known chemicals

* Requiring testing of new chemicals to make sure they are safe before they make it into the marketplace

* Requiring disclosure of chemical testing data

Unless Congress acts, chemical companies will continue to put products on the market that are linked to childhood leukemia and brain cancers, breast and testicular cancer, neurological disorders such as learning disabilities and Alzheimer's, and fertility problems.

Please take a minute NOW to ask your Senators to co-sponsor the Safe Chemicals Act.

Sign the letter below – or, better yet, write your own – and we’ll be sure your message reaches your senators on Capitol Hill immediately.
