Environmental health expert Lindsay Dahl reveals how toxic chemicals end up in everyday products due to weak U.S. regulations—and what that means for our health. Blending personal experience with science and advocacy, she exposes industry tactics and calls for systemic change to create a safer, healthier future.
In this webinar, Lindsay Dahl will discuss her book, "Cleaning House: The Fight to Rid Our Homes of Toxic Chemicals." As described on the publisher's website, "In Cleaning House, Lindsay Dahl shows how seemingly innocuous items—everything from toys to common beauty and cleaning products—can include toxic chemicals, thanks to a consistent failure of regulation in the United States. The scientific research linking toxic chemicals in products to rising rates of cancer and reproductive harms is as strong as the science that led to banning lead from gasoline, PBCs, and DDT. . . Through vivid storytelling and robust scientific evidence, Dahl makes a compelling case that a safer world will only arrive through systemic change. We must turn off the tap of toxic chemicals before they make their way into our homes and bodies—and here she shows you how."
