M8.5 Ideal Chemical Policy

My ideal chemical policy will be one that addresses issues dealing with individuals, our community, and our environment. When dealing individuals, policy should include regulations that decrease or limits individuals, especially children and workers, from exposure to hazardous chemicals. This would include policy that makes education of chemicals accessible to everyone. Policy should include restrictions on companies to halt their chemicals use, at least those used on food products, until the effects on human health is known. Policy would also include increase funding for researchers to be conducted on the effects of these chemicals on our health. Finally, policy should include protections to our environment. For example, creating laws the prohibit companies from dumping chemicals into our water streams and land.
