Toxic-Free Future
What it is
Toxic-Free Future describes itself as a national leader in environmental health research and advocacy. It was founded in Seattle in 1981 as the Washington Toxics Coalition. The legacy SafeMama page linked its earlier national campaign, Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families; saferchemicals.org now redirects to Toxic-Free Future.
What it covers
Research, education, and advocacy on toxic chemicals in products, including federal and state chemical policy and market campaigns aimed at companies.
How to verify
Reports and campaigns are on toxicfreefuture.org. Testing reports describe which products were tested and how.
How SafeMama uses it
Cited by report when its testing bears on a product category SafeMama covers, with the scope of what was tested stated.
Limitations / conflicts
It runs campaigns on its own findings, so SafeMama reads the methodology and states the scope of any test it cites.
