The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a non-profit organization based in the United States, focused on environmental health and advocacy. Founded in 1993, EWG is known for its research and reports on substances that may pose risks to human health and the environment, including chemicals in cosmetics, pollutants in drinking water, and pesticides on food. One of the group’s most notable projects is the annual “Dirty Dozen” list, which ranks fruits and vegetables based on pesticide contamination levels. EWG also provides resources like the “Skin Deep” database, which rates personal care products based on their ingredient safety. Through these efforts and its advocacy for stricter regulation, EWG aims to inform public decisions and influence policy to promote a healthier, more sustainable environment.
