title: Lorenzo Tomatis and environmental cancer risk.
abstract: Lorenzo Tomatis and Benedetto Terracini have shared study and research experiences since 1948. This paper describes various phases of Tomatis scientific adventure leading to outstanding results (in particular as Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer) despite the various difficulties met and the tendency to ignore scientific findings which in fact were adequate to implement preventive measures addressed to environmental carcinogenic hazards.
