For more than three decades, women working in the plastic automotive parts factories in Windsor, Ontario have complained of dreadful conditions in many of this city’s plants: Pungent fumes and dust that caused nosebleeds, headaches, nausea and dizziness.

Streamlight® Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance flashlights and weapon light/laser sighting devices, recently donated $107,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), a not-for-profit organization with a mission to achieve prevention of and a cure for breast cancer.

Not counting some kinds of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, according the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is using the month of October to urge women to get mammograms on a regular basis.

This October, Wiley X®, Inc. will once again be supporting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) in its worldwide effort to raise awareness of breast cancer and fund the search for a cure to this disease that impacts the lives of so many women and families.

Researchers, auto workers, union reps and women's health advocates are meeting in Windsor, Ontario today to discussion the relationship between breast cancer and chemical exposures in the workplace.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), and once again leading protective eyewear manufacturer Wiley X® is doing its part to raise awareness and help fund ongoing research and prevention efforts.
