Revisit the webinar organised by the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) and the Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL) exploring how chemical pollution impacts men’s health.

A new report by the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) highlights that chemical pollution is fuelling a growing men’s health crisis in Europe. Rates of prostate and testicular cancer continue to rise, with evidence linking these trends to exposure to harmful chemicals such as phthalates, PFAS, and pesticides.

Environmental pollution is harmful to health and increases the risk of cancer. While lifestyle and genetics shape health, the growing burden from chemical pollution demands urgent, science-based policy action.
