Diseases that are linked to toxic chemicals

Many well-known, high-incidence diseases are now linked with exposure to chemicals.  These diseases include breast cancer, male reproductive health problems, neurological impairment in children and obesity & diabetes.   There is more and more scientific evidence that exposure to chemicals during development in the womb can lead to disease in later life.

Please see information about each of these on the disease pages:
