CHEC is a national non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public, specifically parents and caregivers, about environmental toxins that affect children`s health.

Our ultimate goal is to eliminate children`s exposure to man-made toxic substances by ensuring everyone’s right-to-know what is in their air, food, water and commercial products. We are working to achieve this goal through increased scientific research, government policies which are more protective of children, and educating and mobilizing individuals — like you — around the country.



CHEC`s mission is to inform parents and all those concerned with the welfare of children about preventable health and development problems caused by exposures to toxic substances in homes, schools and communities and to encourage the public to take action to protect children against these toxic threats.



CHEC`s work on behalf of children is made possible by the support of its members.



CHEC`s goals are to:

- Create awareness of preventable, environmental risks to children`shealth.

- Help people learn about safer practices and products.

- Encourage the public to adopt these safer products and practices.

- Change government and corporate policies to protect children from environmental hazards.
