📣 WHAT’S REALLY IN YOUR BABY’S DIAPER? Diapers to

📣 WHAT’S REALLY IN YOUR BABY’S DIAPER?

Diapers touch a baby’s skin nearly every minute of the day for years - and right now, manufacturers don’t have to tell parents what’s actually in them.

AB 1901 would change that. It requires diaper makers to fully disclose every intentionally added ingredient - including its chemical ID and purpose - right on the package and online.

Parents deserve to know. AB 1901 already passed the Assembly 68–1, and it’s now in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

📞 CALL NOW: (916) 651-4113

Say: “I’m calling to urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to pass AB 1901 and require diaper ingredient transparency.”

Takes 60 seconds. Committees log every call.

@ Share this with a parent, caregiver, or nurse in your life.

🚨 CA NURSES: WE NEED YOUR VOICE TODAY 🚨

AB 762 would ban the sale of disposable, battery-embedded vapes in California.

AB 762 just passed the Assembly and is now sitting in the Senate Appropriations Committee. This is the moment it needs to hear from us.

📞 CALL NOW: (916) 651-4101

Say: “I’m calling to urge the committee to pass AB 762 and ban disposable, battery-embedded vapes in California.”

It takes 60 seconds. Committees track every call - your voice counts as much as a testifying expert.

@ Tag a fellow nurse who needs to make this call too.

3 new “forever chemical” pesticides just got EPA a

3 new “forever chemical” pesticides just got EPA approval — here’s what nurses need to know.

On July 1, 2026, the EPA approved epyrifenacil, diflufenican, and trifludimoxazin for use on corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, apples, almonds, and more.

All three are PFAS — “forever chemicals” that don’t break down in the environment.

What the science shows:
Epyrifenacil caused liver tumors in animal studies
Trifludimoxazin showed “suggestive evidence” of cancer risk, plus thyroid and liver effects
Both build up in soil, water, and in our bodies

Why this matters:
Farmworker and rural patients face direct occupational exposure. Early awareness, patient education, and documentation matter more than ever.

What you can do:
Ask about occupational exposure history. Share reporting resources with patients. Support farmworker health policy advocacy in your community.
