Health problems and disabilities such as asthma, birth defects, cancer, diabetes and infertility affect more than 100 million men, women and children, about one-third of the U.S. population. Scientific research shows that exposure to environmental contaminants may increase a person’s risk for these and other health concerns. Pregnancy and early childhood are especially vulnerable times, but exposure throughout our lives may harm us.

Imagine a world with less cancer, more justice, lower rates of asthma, cleaner air, fewer babies born with birth defects, abundant and safe drinking water, a decrease in the number of couples facing infertility, healthy products on every store’s shelves and a government that works to protect all people and all living things. And imagine women leading the way to that world.
