Two-thirds of all cancer cases are linked to preventable environmental causes from exposure to toxics. To honor Children’s Environmental Health Day, Moms Clean Air Force sat down with Kristina Marusic, author of A New War on Cancer, to talk about cancer and environmental health. In our virtual conversation, Kristina shared stories about the remarkable doctors, scientists, and advocates who are upending our understanding of cancer and how to fight it. The war on cancer is winnable—if we revolutionize the way we fight.
