With a strong commitment to environmental justice, ACAT empowers communities to eliminate exposure to toxic substances and works towards the restoration and preservation of ecosystems.

ACAT works at various levels, from local to international, to address environmental health and justice issues, focusing on the elimination of the most dangerous chemicals. They advocate for laws that place the burden of proof on the chemicals industry and commerce, rather than on the public, and work towards raising awareness about the daily exposure to toxic chemicals.
