It has often been stated that in past years environmental pollution and its effects have received little attention in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. This perception is now being substantiated by many scientific observations of increased incidence of endocrine-related tumours (e.g. breast, prostate and thyroid tumours) in the populations of these countries.

It is against this background that a NATO international workshop took place in Bialystok, Poland from 8-12 May on Endocrine Disruptors and Carcinogenic Risk Assessment. About 50 experts from 15 countries gathered to assess the scope of the problem, and consider a comprehensive approach to collecting data, which up to now has been collected somewhat haphazardly. The Workshop took place at the Medical Academy at Branicki Palace, in eastern Poland, with support from the NATO Science Programme. It followed on from a pilot study dealing with biological risk assessment undertaken by the environmental programme of the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS).
