No one’s health should be put at risk by harmful chemicals found in everyday products and the environment.

You can help us push the UK Government to strengthen protection against EDCs. Together we can remove them from products and improve breast cancer prevention.
* Precautionary approach (or principle)means that while we don’t understand the full extent of the risk EDCs pose to health and the environment, we must take protective steps to avoid future harm.
