Plain-English Summary

This bill would fund scientific research to study how plastics and plastic chemicals affect human health, including their potential links to diseases and health problems. The research would help doctors and public health officials better understand the risks posed by plastic exposure through food, water, and everyday products that consumers use. The findings could eventually inform government decisions about regulating plastics and protecting public health.
