Project Team
The project team is composed of two firefighter groups, San Francisco Firefighter Cancer Prevention Foundation and the United Fire Service Women ; researchers from UC-Berkeley, UC-San Francisco and the Silent Spring Institute; and environmental health advocates fromCommonweal and the Breast Cancer Fund .
We have also assembled an expert advisory panel that we can consult with on everything from data collection to sharing the study findings.
