Description	Silent Spring Institute is a non-profit research organization dedicated to identifying--and changing--the links between the environment and women's health, especially breast cancer. We are a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in epidemiology, toxicology, chemistry, GIS, community-based research, and communications. The Institute's scientists work in collaboration with researchers at a number of universities, including Harvard, Brown, UC Berkeley and others. Research focuses on breast cancer and environmental pollutants, especially endocrine disrupting compounds (chemicals that affect hormones) and animal mammary gland carcinogens, and path-breaking studies of household exposures.The Institute has developed new research technologies and published 35 peer-reviewed articles. The Household Exposure Study is the most comprehensive examination to date of pollution inside homes. In addition, the Institute led publication of a special issue on environmental factors and breast cancer in "Cancer", a journal of the American Cancer Society, and the online database of information on 216 mammary gland carcinogens and 450 epidemiologic breast cancer studies was highlighted in "Science". Our many initiatives include:-household exposure studies on Cape Cod and in northern California, -a study of the marketing of personal care products containing endocrine disruptors to women since the 1950s, -the development of an online health and environment computer-mapping program for Massachusetts (MassHEIS),-a study of hormone-disrupting contaminants from wastewater leaching into Cape Cod groundwater and drinking water, and--an analysis of the ethical and legal issues surrounding the reporting of personal results to participants in studies of exposures to environmental chemicals. As an essential part of our strategic vision, the Institute seeks not only to conduct our own leading-edge research, but also to inform the research and public policy agenda nationally. We are committed to educating policymakers and consumers about our research and ways to reduce exposure to toxics in everyday products. Last year, members of our team participated in approximately 106 advisory panels, conferences, seminars and community events across the country. Institute work is supported by federal and state grants and contracts, private foundations, and individual donors.	Description
