			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we <a href="http://plasticpollutioncoalition.org/2009/12/babies-born-already-poisoned-by-bpa-cord-blood-study-shows/">reported in December</a>, Environmental Working Group (<a href="http://www.ewg.org" target="_blank">EWG</a>), a non-partisan research organization,  made public a study of unbilical cord blood of American babies.  The test found nearly 300 chemicals, including many present in plastic objects such as <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A">Bisphenol A (BPA)</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_retardant">flame retardants</a>, lead, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl">PCBs</a>.</p>

<p>These chemicals are increasingly linked to serious long-term health effects, such as, cancer, autism, Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder">ADHD</a>), learning disorders, infertility, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.</p>
<p>Our children must get the healthy start they deserve. We all can help by  joining the thousands of other Americans demanding a real federal toxics law that will make consumer products safe for kids.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ewg.org">Environmental Working Group</a> has created an <a href="http://www.ewg.org/kid-safe-chemicals-act-blog/sign-petition-b/?utm_source=kscapet1td&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=second-link&amp;utm_campaign=kscapet">online petition</a> to support the <a href="http://www.ewg.org/kid-safe-chemicals-act-blog/kid-safe-chemicals-act/">Kid-Safe Chemicals Act</a>, which would require that all chemicals be proven safe for children before they can be sold.</p>
<p>Lawmakers in Washington need to know that you want them to reform our broken toxics law.  <strong>Click <a href="http://www.ewg.org/kid-safe-chemicals-act-blog/sign-petition-b/?utm_source=kscapet1td&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=second-link&amp;utm_campaign=kscapet">here to add your voice to the petition.</a></strong></p>
