Leonard Lopate interviews

Keri Powell, a lawyer for the environmental group Earthjustice, who filed a suit requiring manufacturers to come clean on what’s in their products. We’ll also speak with industrial hygienist Monona Rossol from Arts Crafts and Theater Safety on why there’s been such resistance to comply – and what it means for our health.

Listen to the interview or follow the links to Powell’s and Rossol’s organizations for information on household chemical toxicity. I was struck to learn that formaldehyde is a byproduct of citrus oil – which, based on no evidence at all, I’d assumed was okay.
