Safer Chemicals twitter chat Part II

What a day! Today was a marathon, six hour long hearing in the Senate on a path forward on toxic chemicals. 

We hosted a twitter chat which was full of rich discussion, questions and experts from across the country.

You can see highlights from the first part of the twitter chat here.
