A number of environmental groups have been actively involved in collecting biomonitoring data in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Those organizations include the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Commonweal, and Environmental Defence (based in Canada).

With that kind of news in the media, it is hard to imagine a positive industry image.
