We reside in a world awash in manmade chemicals, from the pesticides on our front lawns to the diesel exhaust in the air we breathe. Although experts are starting to understand the potential problems of these chemicals, you may still find more than 80,000 synthetic compounds which may have not been sufficiently tested to interpret their results on individual health. Yale School teacher John Wargo has spent a lot of his career researching the impact of chemical substance exposures on women and children. With this book, he talks about the roots of society's serious misunderstanding of everyday chemical hazards and offers a practical journey toward developing greater "green intelligence". Regardless of the rising trend in environmental consciousness, information about synthetic chemicals is often unavailable, distorted, retained secret, or provided in a manner that prevents residents from acting to reduce threats to their health and the environment. By evaluating the histories of five unsafe technologies and methods, Wargo finds remarkable patterns in the delayed discovery of problems and talks about the governments' failures to manage them effectively. Sobering yet eminently readable, Wargo's booklet ultimately offers a specific eye-sight for a safer future through protection, transparency, and consciousness. Named a well liked Science Booklet of 2009 by Scientific American
