Environmental investigations have been their specialty at the Environmental Working Group since 1993.

Their team of scientists, engineers, policy experts, lawyers and computer programmers pores over government data, legal documents, scientific studies and their own laboratory tests to expose threats to your health and the environment, and to find solutions.

Their research brings to light unsettling facts that you have a right to know. It shames and shakes up polluters and their lobbyists. It rattles politicians and shapes policy. It persuades bureaucracies to rethink science and strengthen regulation. It provides practical information you can use to protect your family and community.

And because their investigations and interactive websites tend to make news, you've probably heard about them. Even if you've never heard of the comp.

Which is fine. they'd rather you remember their work than their name.
