What is CHE?

The Collaborative on Health and the Environment (CHE) (www.healthandenvironment.org) is a national non-partisan partnership of individuals and organizations concerned with the role of the environment in human and ecosystem health. CHE seeks to raise the level of scientific and public dialogue about the role of environmental contaminants and other environmental factors in many of the common diseases, disorders, and conditions of our time. CHE promotes interdisciplinary discussions, sharing of scientific evidence, outreach and education, and an agenda to bring about systemic change in improving environmental public health. Underlying all of CHE’s activities is a commitment to strong, uncompromised science. We believe that the truth emerges through discussion and that civility among CHE partners is a condition of honest dialogue and learning.
