Island Press: Elizabeth Grossman: A Green Chemistry Revolution
From baby bottles to kitchen cookware, Americans are more concerned than ever about chemicals and their effect on our health. The stories are unnerving: Our children play with toys that leach unsafe chemicals, our makeup and sunscreen carry toxins, and nearly every child born today carries hazardous chemicals in his or her blood. Even the air we breathe can alter our genes. Maybe weve had enough, on every level. Investigative journalist Elizabeth Grossman, author of Chasing Molecules: Poisonous Products, Human Health, and the Promise of Green Chemistry, thinks we have. A "benign by design" chemical revolution is brewing, she says, and its hope is the promise of green chemistrya world where the pollutants stay out of products and out of people. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life and Island Press, in association with IslandWood and Elliott Bay Book Company.
