Overview

All Americans deserve to live in a healthy and toxic-free environment. Unfortunately, conditions like cancer, birth defects, and childhood asthma are all linked to chemicals commonly found in popular consumer products, released into our air and water, or dumped into toxic waste sites right in our neighborhoods. WISPIRG stands up to polluters to ensure that the American public has full knowledge about hazardous material in our communities.

All Wisconsinites deserve to live and work in a healthy environment. That's why WISPIRG is working to reduce the toxic content of industrial waste, fund the cleanup of toxic dumps, and make powerful interests tell the truth about what they're putting into our air and water.
