Environmental Health Trust

Environmental Health Trust researches and shares cutting edge science with the goal of promoting health and preventing disease one person, one community, and one nation at a time. EHT provides clear, science-based evidence that policymakers and community leaders can use to inform policies to promote health and prevent environmentally based disease. EHT's research findings are translated into shareable data points that health professionals, individuals, and community networks can use to educate local, state, and federal lawmakers and executives about controllable environmental health risks and common-sense changes needed to reduce those risks. Past multi-media projects include local and national campaigns to ban smoking and asbestos; exploration of the factors that lie behind puzzlingly high rates of fibroid tumors, breast cancer, and endometriosis in young African-American women; and environmental wellness programs in Wyoming and Pennsylvania to address the environmental impacts of energy development. Most recently, EHT has been helping businesses, universities, and schools at all levels create entertaining and informative materials on the established impacts of cell phone and wireless radiation on public health and ways to reduce risks from radiation exposure. EHT is led by Dr. Devra Davis, PhD,. MPH, an award-winning, internationally renowned scientist who also was the founding director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences. Her most recent book, "Disconnect," provides shocking detail about the link between cell phone radiation and health damages, and has received kudos from experts around the world, and broad coverage by national news media in the U.S., Canada, Finland, Holland, Germany, Korea, and Japan.
