SAFE CHEMICAL POLICIES
April 10, 2013 Senator Lautenburg, (D-NJ), reintroduced the “Safe Chemicals Act”. This is a long over due bill to reform the Toxic Chemical Substance Act of 1976 (TSCA). The EPA currently has little authority to actually ban or even regulate toxic chemicals and more importantly, American citizens do not have the means to be informed regarding what toxic chemicals are in the products they purchase. Reforming the TSCA legislation has been a difficult task due to the strong lobbying of the American Chemistry Council and manufacturers. However, the time may be now as the Safe Chemicals Act has a good start with 29 co-sponsors.

Does anyone use oxygen therapy for wounds, especially bad diaper rash? We see many NAS infants with terrible rash from frequent loose stools and use O2 to dry and aid in healing. How do use administer the O2 to the site? Are there any products that are designed specifically for this administration?

Today, NANN had a presence on Capitol Hill. The March of Dimes sponsored a Congressional Briefing about the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act, HR 1281. This bill would ensure that all newborn infants continue to be screened for disorders (metabolic, hearing, congenital heart disease) that, if undetected and untreated, can lead to morbidity and mortality.
