Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL)—EuropeA CHE Partner Organization in EuropeThe Collaborative on Health and the Environment and the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), based in Brussels at the heart of the European Union, established a partnership in 2006 to raise the level of public and professional dialogue on the impact of chemical exposures and other environmental factors on human health in order to further strengthen transatlantic and international work. The shared interests of CHE and HEAL include developing stronger relationships with patient, health professional and scientific organizations and individuals and promoting precautionary approaches to reduce environmental contaminants. Our partnership enables CHE and HEAL to share a wide range of scientific, technical, and human resources to avoid duplication and to deepen the resource base available to partners in both networks. HEAL, founded in 2003, is a leading European nongovernmental, public interest organization addressing how the environment affects public health in the European Union.

Members include international and Europe-wide organisations, as well as national and local groups.
