Mission
The Collaborative on Health and the Environment (CHE) is a diverse partnership of individuals and organizations working collectively to advance knowledge and effective action to address growing concerns about the links between human health and environmental factors.
Underlying all of CHE’s activities is a commitment to strong, uncompromised science. CHE Partners share the conviction that under conditions of scientific uncertainty, when evidence of the potential for harm to human health and the environment is scientifically compelling, precautionary measures that emphasize exposure prevention should be undertaken.
CHE’s primary activities include:
– Sharing scientific research information about the links between environmental contaminants and human disease;
– Fostering interdisciplinary and inclusive collaboration among diverse constituencies interested in those links; and
– Facilitating appropriate actions to reduce exposure to contaminants and to improve care of those affected.
