Consensus Statement on Cancer and the Environment

The Collaborative on Health and the Environment, in partnership with the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production and the Breast Cancer Fund, has developed a consensus statement that lays out the scientific rationale for stronger cancer prevention and enumerates specific research and policy initiatives to prevent environmental exposures that contribute to cancer.

We invite you to voice your support for a stronger, science-based national cancer prevention agenda by signing the statement. As of 1/30/09, about 220 people and organizations have signed the statement.
