About Toxic Action

Since 1987, Toxics Action Center has helped more than 500 neighborhood groups across New England fight toxic pollution in their communities. When dangerous industries are polluting our air and water, when toxic pesticides are threatening our children’s health, when unresponsive bureaucracies are slow to enforce our environmental laws, we are here to help citizens protect the health and safety of their communities.

Through our group consultations, expert referrals, networking opportunities, and information guides, Toxics Action Center will help you wage an effective campaign to protect the health and safety of your community.
