Profile

We work at the interface between science and policy to reduce use of harmful chemicals in consumer products and building materials to protect human health and the environment. We motivate and participate in scientific research work with scientists to share their research results with government, standards bodies, and other decision makers and convene diverse high-level stakeholders to effect change in the public interest. Additionally, we educate designers, retailers, manufacturers, and institutional purchasers to empower them to reduce the use of entire classes of chemicals of concern in the products they produce, sell, or buy. Our approach has proven successful at the local, national, and international level for reducing the use of harmful chemicals.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“First, the finance committee meets to review the 990. Then at the board meeting, a copy of the 990 is distributed to the board members and the treasurer outlines the content and any issues. Then the board votes to approve the 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Each board member signs an annual disclosure statement which affirms that the person has received a copy of this conflict of interest policy, has read and understood the policy, and has agreed to comply with the policy, and discloses any direct or indirect affiliations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“Executive director compensation is determined by comparing executive director compensation data from non-profit organizations of similar size, content area, and mission. The chair signs off on any salary changes. Specifically, the board established a compensation committee. They reached out to institutes that were in any way comparable with gspi to have data on comparable compensation. This review revealed gspi's executive director compensation had been below that of other leaders of science institutes for many years. The committee brought a recommendation to the board that $216k would be an appropriate annual compensation. Furthermore, the committee recommended a one-time adjustment in the form of a $100k bonus, to be paid in 2024, in order to correct many years of underpayment. The board discussed and voted unanimously to accept the recommendations of the compensation committee.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Green science policy institute makes its governing docufments, policies and financial statements available to the public upon written or verbal request.”

IRS990/Desc0REDUCING FLAME RETARDANTS: In 2024, we continued to reduce the use of unnecessary flame retardants in consumer products. INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONICS: We prevented unnecessary international flammability standards that would lead to the use of flame retardants without providing a fire safety benefit. Our educational work has helped prevent proposed international standards that would have led to the unnecessary use of hundreds of millions of pounds of flame retardants in electronics enclosures. Our team of expert consultants monitor flammability committees to prevent proposals that could lead to the increased use of these harmful chemicals. LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES: We collaborated with scientists at University of Toronto to write a Viewpoint article about the harm from unnecessary flame retardants in lithium-ion battery enclosures for the journal Environmental Science & Technology. We also initiated experiments at Sandia National Lab that will demonstrate flame-retarded battery enclosures do not stop battery thermal runaway. Through these projects, we brought attention to the need to prevent lithium-ion battery fires rather than attempt to prevent them once they have begun and lack of proven fire-safety benefit for flame-retarded battery enclosures. This prevention-based approach should make lithium-ion battery products safer by both increasing fire safety and decreasing chemical harm.FLAME RETARDANTS IN VEHICLES: We published our study (with researchers at Duke University and the University of Toronto) in Environmental Science and Technology, titled Flame Retardant Exposure in Vehicles Is Influenced by Use in Seat Foam and Temperature. The research found that all 101 tested cars in the US contained carcinogenic and neurotoxic flame retardants due to an outdated flammability standard (FMVSS 302) set by NHTSA. We also collaborated with Consumer Reports, who launched a consumer petition with over 32,000 signatures from concerned consumers asking NHTSA to Get cancer-causing chemicals out of cars. by reevaluating their outdated vehicle flammability standard. Our similar letter received over 70 organizations support. In Washington DC, we joined representatives from Consumer Reports and the International Association of Fire Fighters in presenting both the petition and letter to NHTSA. We also shared our study with legislators. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and House members Doris Matsui (D-CA) and H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) voiced their concerns in their own letter to NHTSA.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0SIX CLASSES ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 1) We met with policymakers in Congress and agencies in Washington, DC. We educated Senate and House staff from both sides of the aisle, as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) leadership and staff on the class concept and the potential for harm of PFAS, flame retardants, and antimicrobials. During our meetings, we encouraged legislation, letters, appropriations report language, and other actions to update regulations to reduce toxic chemical exposures. 2) Our communications strategy, including an attention-getting press release and embargo, contributed to the high readership and influence of our scientific research papers. We co-authored six out of the 20 most-read papers in 2024 in the high impact journal ES&T Letters. This ranking is based on readership over the past twelve months and shows our papers continuing impact. 3) Our Material Buyers Club, institutional purchasers collaborating for healthier building products, is growing. We are sharing our guide for reducing the Six Classes in carpet, furniture, and flooring, based on extensive work by Harvard and Google, with our new members working together towards healthier buildings across the US. 4) We gave talks on our work and communication strategy, at UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Duke U., and U. of North Carolina. Professors and students told us we inspired them to conduct and communicate their own research to reduce chemical harm. Our scientists also participated in the National PFAS Conference & the International Symposium on Flame Retardants where they shared our research and communications strategy with scientists and community members worldwide.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0REDUCING PFAS: In 2024, we continued educating stakeholders and reducing the use of the class of PFAS in consumer products and building materials. FOOD PACKAGING: Beginning with our joint paper, Fluorinated compounds in US fast food packaging and our one-day workshop that discussed the harm of PFAS in food packaging, the packaging industry and fast food companies began to phase out PFAS. Many states banned PFAS in food contact materials and in February 2024, the US FDA announced that materials containing PFAS were no longer being sold for use in food packaging in the U.S.FIREFIGHTING FOAM: Our past Hill work led to bipartisan federal legislation to allow US commercial airports to use firefighting foams without PFAS. In 2024, a ban on PFAS foams in California airports went into effect which will help prevent drinking water contamination in nearby communities.BUILDING MATERIAL PAPERS: With our academic colleagues, we began writing papers on PFAS in outdoor building materials and how PFAS migrate from building materials into the environment. Using our communications strategy, we will share three research papers to educate architects and builders to reduce PFAS.PFAS IN TEXTILES: Our joint paper Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in North American School Uniforms, has contributed to the decreasing use of PFAS in textiles, including clothing, furnishings, and outdoor products. As of January 1, 2025, most textiles sold in California and New York states will no longer contain PFAS. Because of these states large markets, most apparel sold in the US will be free of PFAS.PREVENTING HARMFUL LEGISLATION: We helped prevent legislation in Indiana that would have exempted polymers and F-gases, the most commonly used PFAS, from the states PFAS definition so they would not be defined as PFAS and could continue to be used without regulation. We wrote a Scientists Statement on the importance of inclusive, science-based PFAS definitions with over 150 scientist signatures, which contributed to this problematic proposal not becoming law.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/ExpenseAmt0196776
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0REDUCING ANTIMICROBIALS: We increased our focus on quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), a type of antimicrobials used in consumer disinfectants, cleaning solutions, wipes and personal care products, often without a benefit. GYMS: We surveyed San Francisco Bay area gyms and found that over half requested their patrons use QAC-based products on the equipment after each use. We have also observed that the use of disinfectants in gyms does not follow directions for correct use, creating a false sense of safety while potentially contributing to antimicrobial resistance and other health harms. We created and shared a simple factsheet to help raise awareness among gym facility managers on how to avoid unnecessary uses of harmful antimicrobials in their cleaning and disinfecting practices. POLICY WORK: We educated congressional offices about the health harm of QACs, their unnecessary uses, and what can be done on the federal level to help address this problem. Senators Gillibrand and Booker sent a letter urging the Food and Drug Administration to finalize its long overdue decision on the use of benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, and chloroxylenol in soaps and body washes. SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION: We continued to engage experts working on studying health effects and environmental fate of antimicrobials. We hosted periodic calls on the current research and policy opportunities to reduce the unnecessary uses of antimicrobials and participated in a Northwestern University workshop focused on identifying what specifiers and buyers need to know about antimicrobial chemistry for smarter decision making.
