Silent Spring Institute

Silent Spring Institute is a small, mission-driven nonprofit research organization focused on preventing disease by uncovering how environmental chemicals affect human health. Based in Newton, Massachusetts, it serves as an independent partner for universities, public agencies, community organizations, and companies seeking credible exposure and product-safety evidence. Its approach combines field and laboratory studies, community participation, ethical reporting of personal exposure results, digital tools, and translation into policy and safer products. Research is supported by competitive federal funding from NIH, CDC, and EPA, together with foundations and philanthropic donors.
