"The Falmouth Public Library is very pleased to host a traveling educational exhibit about how to reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals. Titled, Let’s Talk Prevention: Reducing Toxic Exposure, the exhibit features a booklet citing scientific evidence linking exposure and effect for many common chemicals, as well as brochures, available in several languages, describing basic steps you can take to reduce problematic exposures and choose safer alternatives to toxic products.
The exhibit was created by the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC), our commonwealth’s leading breast cancer prevention non-profit, which is dedicated to preventing environmental causes of breast cancer through community education, research advocacy, and changes to public policy. The aim of Let’s Talk Prevention is “to facilitate discussions between health professionals and patients about environmental exposures and chemicals of concern.”
The exhibit is up now through late May in the Katharine Lee Bates Lobby. Please stop by, take copies of the brochures and sign up for MBCC newsletter. For more information about reducing your exposure, visit mbcc.org and click on the Let’s Talk Prevention tab.
Information about the exhibit is an abridged version of the Press Release supplied by Julia Withers, Program and Community Outreach Consultant, Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. If you would like host the exhibit, email Julia Withers at mbcc.juliawithers@gmail.com with the subject line: Let’s Talk Prevention Tour."...
