This Spring, BCAM will welcome Dr. Julia Brody, executive director of the Silent Spring Institute and a nationally recognized leader in research on breast cancer and the environment. She is the principal investigator of the Cape Cod Breast Cancer and Environment Study, now in its 10th year. This study is investigating exposures to endocrine disruptors and mammary carcinogens from air and water pollutants, and from common products such as pesticides, detergents, plastics, and cosmetics. Innovative methods include testing for 89 chemicals in women’s homes and exposure mapping using a geographic information system (GIS). The study was the first to measure estrogenic activity in ground and drinking water.
