On World Cancer Day, representatives from the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) Poland attended the meeting of the Parliamentary Group "Rodzice dla Klimatu" (Parents for Climate). Experts from non-governmental organisations, the scientific community, and the healthcare sector discussed the impact of pollution on cancer and prevention. Olga Wdowiczak, environmental health policy specialist at HEAL, presented findings on how exposure to hazardous chemicals increases the cancer risk, particularly for children.
HEAL and the German Climate and Health Alliance (Deutsche Allianz Klimawandel und Gesundheit, KLUG) have sent a letter to the Chancellor of Germany, calling for support of strict clean air standards, to prevent disease and lower health costs.
