A Truly Toxic Issue: Our Chemical Environment

A truly toxic issue Modern life is saturated with carcinogenic

chemicals. But without regulation, just how are we supposed to avoid

them?

by Sadhbh Walshe

I used to be under the impression that you had a reasonable chance of

avoiding debilitating and potentially fatal diseases like cancer if you

just took a few simple precautions: ate plenty of fruit and vegetables,

gave up smoking, drank in moderation and did a bit of exercise. It's

since become apparent that the world we live in is so overrun with

environmental pollutants that it is next to impossible to keep oneself

truly healthy...
