Government/Nonprofit/Industry Plan Outlined to Remedy Lack of
Comprehensive U.S. System to Protect Public From Harmful
Chemical Exposures "Action Agenda" Arising From Broad-Based
"National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures"
Outlines 48 Recommendations to Ensure Chemical Safety for
Americans WASHINGTON, June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
Even though Americans are exposed every day to potentially
harmful chemicals, the U.S. government currently does not have

"action agenda" emerging from a two-year national conversation
led by government, nonprofit and industry organizations. The
National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures is
a collaboration of RESOLVE, a nonprofit consensus-building
organization; the American Public Health Association; the
Association of State and Territorial Health Officials; the
National Association of County and City Health Offic
