CHEC's goal

Our ultimate goal is to eliminate children's exposure to man-made toxic substances by ensuring everyone’s right-to-know what is in their air, food, water and commercial products. We are working to achieve this goal through increased scientific research, government policies which are more protective of children, and educating and mobilizing individuals — like you — around the country.

At some point this work appears to have been subsumed into Healthy Child https://healthychild.org/, also established by the Chudas in 1992
