Breast Cancer & Our Environment

It's difficult to examine the effects of individual chemicals on risk for a disease as complex as breast cancer. The time between exposures and development of the disease may be decades; we may not know what chemicals we've been exposed to; and we are not exposed to chemicals in isolation.

With more scientific evidence emerging practically daily, it's clear: the chemicals in our environment play a role in altering our biological processes. It's clear that our exposures to toxic chemicals and radiation are connected to our breast cancer risk.

On a positive note, our exposure to chemicals and radiation is something we can begin to control—through personal, corporate and political action. Get to know the chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer and take action to reduce your risk.
