Environmental Health Project

The Environmental Health Project draws connections between environmental pollution and human health, particularly as it affects children. From watchdogging Dow chemical company to working with major suppliers in the health care industry, the Ecology Center strives to hold polluters accountable and move toward healthier alternatives for consumer products.

We promote chemicals policies that ask corporations and governments to make the safest chemical alternatives the first choice, persuading companies such as Kaiser Permanente and Consorta to move toward safer products. We also launched a Green Chemistry initiative to urge development of an industry that proactively focuses on safer chemical designs.

To address children’s environmental health in our home state the Ecology Center created the Michigan Network for Children’s Environmental Health, a coalition of environmentalists, pediatricians, and health care professionals advocating for policies and practices that will reduce exposure of children to environmental toxicants.
