Breast Cancer Action Montreal has launched a new project to provide a framework for recognizing the risks of environmental chemicals in our homes. While relevant for everyone, Becoming a Chemical Detective is particularly designed for potential and new parents, emphasizing risks posed during the vulnerable stages of pregnancy, infancy, early childhood and adolescence.
Becoming a Chemical Detective aims to help you to not only recognize risks present in your home but will also give you practical solutions and safer alternatives to help reduce exposure, including low-cost and affordable solutions. The presentation also helps people become more informed and knowledgeable consumers so that we will be empowered to take action to benefit not only ourselves, but our community and society.
For more information or to book a presentation, please email viorica@bcam.qc.ca [3] or call the BCAM office at (514) 483-1846.
