Heal

"HEAL's purpose and goals concern the effects of environmental exposure on health, not just for those who have already been adversely affected, but also for those portions of the general public who are potentially at high risk for adverse effects from...environmental exposure[s] by virtue of their age, state of health and immune status, state of development, and other characteristics....

[The Governing Board] believe[s] that a list of high-risk groups includes the following:

the chemically sensitive
women of childbearing age
pregnant women and their fetuses
all children under 15 years of age
the immune-impaired
the chronically-ill
the poor
all those whose employment involves work with or around [hazardous materials]"

--from the HEAL Governing Board
