CELA has undertaken detailed research into children’s environmental health issues for over twenty years. This work has included extensive secondary research to summarize the scientific evidence about greater risks to children from environmental exposures as well as research and advocacy in many areas of legal and policy analysis.
Our Environmental Standard-Setting and Children’s Health Report involved a detailed review of whether the law adequately protected children. This work led to the creation of the Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE). CELA has researched, authored, or co-authored many of CPCHE’s publications. This foundational work is gathered here with links provided to many areas of related work.
A collaborative initiative, led by the Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE).
