The Green Science Policy Institute is an independent think tank based in Berkeley, California, that provides scientific data to support decision-making about chemicals used in consumer and manufactured products. Its work is aimed at government, industry, and non-governmental organizations, offering information to inform policy and practical choices regarding chemical safety and exposure. The organization positions itself within the policy and science arena, seeking to influence standards and product chemistry through evidence-based analysis and cross-sector collaboration. Recent developments include a partnership with the University of Toronto to study air quality in young children’s bedrooms, reflecting an ongoing emphasis on evaluating environmental health impacts. The Institute has historically engaged in collaborations such as ECOS to address safety and regulatory concerns related to flame retardants and other chemical standards, and operates from Berkeley while serving a national and international audience concerned with chemical policy and public health.
