Learn about the hidden carcinogen 1,4-dioxane and how this emerging contaminant impacts you, your family and your community
Learn about Yale’s new health study for Long Islanders
1,4-Dioxane is a toxic contaminant found in drinking water throughout our nation, including water supplies on Long Island. This hidden carcinogen was also found in 80% of personal care products that CCE had independently tested, including shampoos, bath gels, dish soap, laundry detergent, and baby products. Due to CCE’s work, NY State has adopted a law to limit the amount of 1,4-dioxane in household products. The law went into effect this year, however, the list of products that are deferred from complying is extensive!
In addition, we are excited to announce that CCE has partnered with the Yale Superfund Research Center! Yale Superfund Research Center has crafted a study to better understand the impact of 1,4-dioxane exposure on Long Island residents. CCE is providing education and outreach to inform Long Islanders about this new, exciting program. Find out how you can participate in Yale’s health study on 1,4-dioxane.
