Where to check out rumors?

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

Occasionally I hear about a particular chemical in common use causing

cancer, or other concerns. Generally I disregard this as chemophobe

reactionary talk, but sometimes I'd like to be able to check it out.

Is there a place(s) to go to search for alerts on personal care

chemicals, and the real facts on rumors?

Thanks,

Terri

Hi Terri, there are a number of urban myths sites around. The two

that I like are:-

http://urbanlegends.miningco.com/science/urbanlegends/

and

www.snopes.com

Both of these give good explanations and usually reference their

sources.
