Children, Chemicals and Disease with Dr. Leo Trasande

Can our kids survive the American lifestyle?

The air they breathe, the water they drink and the food they eat all contribute to a child’s risk of developing a serious  illness. Our environment contains a growing list of chemicals, many of which are known causes of human illnesses.

So what can we do about it?

On tonight’s show Doug and Patti are joined by  world-renowned pediatrician and environmental health expert Dr. Leo Trasande, who will explain  how chemical exposures put our kids at risk, how much environmentally-mediated illness costs our nation, and what steps we can take to protect our children from harm.
