Breast Cancer in a Bottle - with Polly Marshall

Are your personal care products putting your health at risk?

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the EPA changing the risk/benefit calculation for pollution, the glyphosate case going to the Supreme Court, the administration's secret committee to challenge climate change, and eggs in England contaminated with forever chemicals.

Then Polly Marshall, founder and executive director of non-profit Breast Cancer Over Time talks about the pioneering work of her group, speeding up the process for evaluating the links between chemicals in personal care products and an increased risk of breast cancer.
