How the chemicals in everyday products are killing us—and what the government is not doing about it. Did you know that "non-toxic" usually means "never tested"? Or that many green cleaners may be good for the environment, but terrible for you? Chemist and activist Monona Rossol goes from under your sink into the halls of the powerful, tracing America's love affair with chemicals that kill, explaining how much worse the problem has gotten in the last decade. Shocking and appalling and completely reckless—that's how she describes the current prevalence of harmful chemicals in our everyday lives. Scientists have started linking our increased rates for cancer, autism, obesity, and asthma (among others) to chemical exposure, and Rossol points the finger directly at the companies and executives making millions of dollars by polluting our environment and introducing toxic chemicals to ours.
