The Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE) is a national partnership of
environmental, public health, medical, disability advocacy and child-centred organizations that, since 2001, have been working together across traditional boundaries to advance the protection of children’s health from the risks posed by toxic chemicals and pollutants (www.healthyenvironmentforkids.ca). One of our goals is to advance decisive policy action to address the known risks to children’s health and intellectual capacity associated with exposure to lead.
