ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
& BREAST CANCER RISK:
Are Chemicals in
Common, Everyday Products Linked to Breast Cancer?
Monday, October 29, 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
University of
Rhode Island. Kingston Campus
Memorial Union, Atrium One
A presentation provided by the Massachusetts Breast
Cancer Coalition (MBCC), in partnership with the Rhode Island Breast Cancer
Coalition (RIBCC). Co-Sponsors of the
event include: Toxics Information Project (TIP), URI Women's
Center and URI Women’s Studies Department.
A reception will follow the talk, with further opportunity for
questions/discussion.
With seventy percent of breast cancer diagnoses left unexplained by
family history or other lifestyle factors, this presentation explores the
question, "What is fueling the breast cancer epidemic?" The
discussion will focus on whether the dramatic and unnaturally high breast
cancer rate is linked to chemicals found in common, everyday products such as
household cleaners, pesticides and personal care products. A practical
guide to reducing risk in your own home by selecting safer household products
and remedies will conclude the presentation.
