Health, Diseases & Disabilities
CHE follows scientific research on any health concern linked to environmental contributors, which means everything besides hereditary factors that can impact health. We include social determinants of health under this umbrella, recognizing that poverty and other social stressors—along with chemical exposures, radiation and other factors—are all part of the environment in which we are born, grow and live.

You may also want to peruse our 2011 Toxicant and Disease Database. It is searchable by disease/disabilities and summarizes the state of evidence about links between hundreds of toxicants and dozens of diseases, including many not listed here. In addition, you will find links to other databases that have other useful resources on chemicals that can impact human development and lifelong health.
