Just Released: Our new article published today in the American Journal of Public Health shows strong evidence that links air pollution to children’s health. ajph.aphapublications.org/do…
#Airpollution hurts our kids’ brains, period. Time for stronger – not weaker – regulation to protect them. #ProtectKidsHealth projecttendr.com/air-polluti…

#DPR takes important step to further protect people from #pesticide chlorpyrifos… New recommendations include no aerial spraying and buffer zones… See details at bit.ly/2OMuCT9
The International Society for Children's Health and the Environment has recognized Dr. Etzel for her commitment to protecting children’s health. Congratulations Dr. Etzel! #ProtectKidsHealth
Organophosphate pesticides endanger our kids. Time for a ban.

The problem is so much bigger than just the EPA's refusal to ban chlorpyrifos. huffp.st/MJwV27A

Ban entire pesticide class to protect children's health, experts say. Organophosphates (OPs) increases the risk of reduced IQs, memory and attention deficits, and autism for prenatal children. theguardian.com/environment/… #ecofriendly
These pesticides hurt developing young minds, but they’re still used in our homes, parks, schools and hospitals. Time for a ban. journals.plos.org/plosmedici…
Our new paper shows the most widely used class of pesticides threaten kids - at levels previously considered safe. journals.plos.org/plosmedici…
"The results are staggering. The eight researchers who authored the paper found there is no safe level of exposure to any organophosphate pesticide for pregnant women"

.@NDeNicolaMD, assistant professor of #obstetrics and #gynecology at #GWSMHS, recently published an article in @ContempOBGYN on toxic environmental exposures in maternal, fetal, and #reproductivehealth: bit.ly/2Opgh2M

Major victory! Yesterday a court ruled, ““EPA has no basis to allow continued use of #chlorpyrifos, and its insistence in doing so puts all children at risk.” #protectkidsbrains #banchlorpyrifos bit.ly/2AXun5X

Excellent summary by @washingtonpost on how environmental #toxins like pesticides, perchlorate, and phthalates pose a risk for pregnant women. The tips at the end of the article from @ProjectTENDR are great, too! washingtonpost.com/national/…
#censoringscience could lead to increased exposure to dangerous toxins – from air pollution to lead to pesticides. Today #ProjectTENDR members are @EPA public hearing. Read the comment letter here. #sciencenotsilence #protectkidshealth bit.ly/2mrxg57

RIGHT NOW @EPA is holding a public hearing on the #CensoringScience rule, which would allow the agency to exclude research that shows the health impacts of #pollution because the studies include confidential patient information. #ScienceNotSilence
We rely on scientific studies to tell us which chemicals are toxic to children’s health and development – tell @EPA that we need #sciencenotsilence #protectkidshealth bit.ly/2mrxg57
