California's proposed chromium-6 drinking water limit fails to protect public health
EWG’s first major break was born through radical team coordination – the science was all there to show that kids’ growing bodies are exposed to too many harmful chemicals, which affect them in a way that’s different from the way they harm the adult body.
The Science Investigations team at EWG does not work in a remote lab, isolated from the teams doing the decidedly unscientific work of policy recommendations and public communications. From the very start, they consider how their research will move through the real world and resonate with the people affected.
Filling the gaps in government oversight is what EWG does. So over the lifetime of the organization, they’ve surveyed the political landscape, communicated urgency to the cosmetic-buying public, educated the media and made inroads wherever possible to improve public health outcomes.
