House fires are becoming more toxic and deadly than ever before, thanks to the increasing use of plastic in home construction and furnishings.
In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about a new court ruling ordering the FCC to explain why it has still not updated its 30-year-old wireless radiation exposure guidelines, and how the Trump administration is quietly working to hide the astronomical costs of climate-related weather events. Then firefighting and hazmat expert Silverio Caggiani explains how fighting fires has become increasingly dangerous as modern homes are filled with plastic, including plumbing, floor covering, furniture, drapes, and even clothing!
