Can Chemical Mixtures Cause Cancer?

EWG PRESS RELEASE–Conventional thinking about cancer prevention may overlook growing evidence that the combined effects of chemicals that are not carcinogenic on their own may be a significant cause of cancer, according to a new EWG analysis of a series of papers published on June 22 in the scientific journal Carcinogenesis.
