The mission of the Maine League of Conservation Voters is to make the protection of Maine’s environment a political priority. We work in a non-partisan manner to evaluate and endorse candidates, help our endorsees get elected, and hold our elected officials accountable for decisions that affect our environment.

Health:
Doctors at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine tested 9 adult volunteers for the presence of more than 200 industrial compounds, pesticides, pollutatns and chemicals in their blood and urine. Participants, none of whom faced high toxin exposure at work, learned they had an average of 90 compounds in their bodies, 36 or more being synthetic chemicals known to cause cancer in humans or laboratory studies. This "Body Burden" research includes chemicals proven to damage the brain, nervous system and other organs, developmental toxins, and even substances banned decades ago because of health risks.
