NGO Profile: Silent Spring Institute
Silent Spring Institute researches the links between the environment and women's health, especially breast cancer.
Silent Spring Institute was founded by breast cancer and environmental activists, scientists, and physicians in 1994 to conduct scientific research on potential environmental causes of breast cancer and other women's health problems. Our mission is to do the highest quality scientific research in collaboration with academic scientists and our activist partners. Our research has included health studies, for example a breast cancer case-control study of 2100 women on Cape Cod, MA; exposure studies, for example we conducted a landmark study of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals indoors that included first-reported measures for 30 different EDCs; and research reviews, for example a series of papers published in the journal Cancer reviewing evidence for associations of various environmental factors and breast cancer. Our web site is www.silentspring.org.
