A wide range of consumer products contain chemicals that can play havoc with human development.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about America’s brain drain of scientists as the administration eliminates grants and guts federal health agencies, and how big agrochemical companies are seeking immunity from all liability for their toxic products. Then UMass professor Dr. Laura Vandenberg provides an overview of endocrine disrupting chemicals, their ubiquity in our culture, and how they can disrupt normal growth during critical periods of human development, including pregnancy.
