- This website is a part of the Chemicals Health Monitor Project (CHM), which aims to improve public health by ensuring that key scientific evidence on the links between chemicals and ill-health are translated into policy as quickly as possible. The CHM project was launched by the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) in collaboration with CHEM Trust, Collaborative on Health and Environment and other partner organisations across Europe in March 2007.
- The Health and Environment Alliance is grateful for the financial support of the Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Marisla Foundation and the European Commission, DG Environment. The views expressed in this website do not necessarily reflect the official views of the EU institutions and funders.
