We owe our readers an enormous thank you for helping us bring this ambitious project to life and supporting the Guardian’s fearless, independent journalism. While we’ve already hit our goal, the fundraiser officially closes on 30 June so it’s not too late to make a contribution. The inspiration for this series came from you, our readers, and your interest in our past coverage of the toxic chemicals in our environment and the dangers of pollution. We want to make sure that this series combines rigorous investigative reporting with accessible, practical information to help you make informed decisions in your everyday lives. Trasande helped us break down the terminology of toxins, argued for the economic benefit of banning toxins, and starting Thursday will answer reader questions about Toxic America.
