About CPES

CPES was established to reduce the incidence of cancer and other diseases. There is an ever-increasing scientific literature reporting links between exposures to man-made chemicals and pollution to cancer and other diseases: developmental and reproductive disorders, infertility, IQ reduction, thyroid disease, etc. However, a lot of this literature is confined to specialist journals, and therefore difficult to access.

The Society was created to convey this specialised research to key audiences including doctors, scientists, regulators, policy makers and politicians. Although our work benefits everyone it is targeted to “technical” audiences who have the power to reduce human exposure to hazardous chemicals and pollution. And while we are by no means anti-chemical, we do believe that risks to health posed by chemical substances are inadequately evaluated prior to commercialisation. Therefore, in addition to improved regulatory control of chemicals prior to market access, we support the emerging discipline of green chemistry where the health and environmental effects of novel chemicals are considered, or, in other words, they are ‘benign by design’.

We depend entirely on individual donations and therefore need the support of all people who want to prevent cancer and other diseases. We act on your behalf to make the case to the people who can do something about it.
