Toxics & You: Information, Empowerment & Action
Event Information
Description
Toxic chemicals are everywhere: in our food, cosmetics, environment--and in our bodies. In the past few decades, the chemicals in our immediate environment have had a direct impact on the increase in the rate of allergies, asthma, and cancers.
Experts working at the intersection of toxics, public health, and policy will share their wealth of knowledge on how we can protect ourselves from these harmful chemicals, as well as how to push for policies that get these dangerous substances out of our lives.
