Résumé
To prove that the most dangerous pollution comes from commonplace items in our homes and workplaces, Smith and Lourie ingested and inhaled these items for one week. They expose the miscreant corporate giants who manufacture the toxins, the weak-kneed government… officials who let it happen, and the effects on people across the globe; they also describe the extent to which we are poisoned, from the simple household dust that is polluting our blood to the toxins in our urine that are created by run-of-the-mill shampoos and toothpaste. c2009.
