TheVoiceOfJoyce We’re condemning generations of people to ADHD, ALS, Parkinson’s, Dementia because we have a weak EPA and little study of toxic chemicals on the brain. Without Corporate Regulation, and a robust return of scientists to the EPA, we’ll never know the direct harm of formaldehyde, PFAS chemicals and micro plastics on the human brain. The distribution of these chemicals hit mining and agricultural towns and poor citizens. However, since they’re ubiquitous, wouldn’t the middle classes be exposed , as well? Upper classes less likely? Why condemn the poor so cruelly to the results of Corporate Deregulation? Install a muscular EPA and let’s understand and change our Environment. There’s so many problems and opportunities to reduce environmental harm to everyone.

Humans may encounter a staggering 80,000 or more toxic chemicals as they work, play, sleep and learn – so many that it is almost impossible to determine their individual effects on a person, let alone how they may interact or the cumulative impacts on the nervous system over a lifespan.

Some contact with environmental toxins is inevitable given the proliferation of plastics and chemical pollutants, as well as America’s hands off regulatory approach, but exposure is unequal.
