Immediate support needed for the expansion of the Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) Study
The Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE) and the Ontario Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance (OCDPA) are concerned about the implications for lifelong health of early environmental exposures to toxic substances. The two partnerships represent 21 organizations that are active in Ontario and nationwide on issues of children’s environmental health and chronic disease prevention. They have joined forces to promote awareness of, and appropriate policy responses to, the linkages between early (fetal and childhood) exposures to toxic chemicals and the development of chronic diseases, including
asthma and other respiratory diseases, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and impacts on the brain, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
