We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Earthjustice.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Dry cleaners can be a toxic menace. Located in the midst of residential communities, many use highly toxic chemicals and release them into the neighborhood air.

Although clean, safe and cost-effective alternatives exist, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to allow dry cleaners to keep using -- and releasing -- toxic chemicals. The EPA acknowledges that up to 56 million Americans may be at risk.

We need your help: EPA is accepting comments on a rule that sets exposure levels for a chemical known as perc used by dry cleaners. Tell EPA that cleaning up the dry cleaners is important and necessary to protect the health of all Americans, and for a cleaner environment!

Personalized messages carry much more weight -- please take a moment to tell EPA why strong protections against toxic pollution are important to you!
