The Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX) is proud to announce that Theo Colborn has been chosen to receive this year’s prestigious Göteborg Award.  The award was founded in 1999 by the Swedish city of Göteborg and several interested companies.  Its purpose is to “stimulate and encourage strategic work for national and international sustainable development”.


Dr. Colborn has worked tirelessly over the past 20 years to bring the science of endocrine disruption to the forefront of public health policy in the United States and abroad.  As the founder and president of TEDX, she has developed an organization dedicated to providing others with the sound scientific evidence they need to prevent further harm to our health and our environment from endocrine disrupting chemicals.

This is the ninth Göteborg Award and the prize sum is one million Swedish crowns.  The award is shared by Dr. Colborn, European Commission Vice President Margot Wallström, environmental engineer Jan Ahlbom and toxicologist Ulf Duus.  Please see the attached press release for more details of the award.  For more information on TEDX and the pioneering work of Dr. Colborn, go to www.endocrinedisruption.org.
