New video material on chemicals’ impact on human health
The Chemical Safety Workgroup, a US-wide organisation gathering public health and science-based NGOs working on toxics protection, has recently published online a 16-minute video entitled: “Contaminated Without Consent”.
The educative video provides strong evidence on body burden caused by daily life consumer product. It also raises awareness about all toxic substances in contact with people, be it at home, at work, at school, etc.
The primary goal of the pedagogic video is to alert communities on health adverse effects of contaminants present in people’s environment and to prevent unnecessary exposures to those contaminants by informing people’s unaware of air, food, soil and water pollution.
The video is available online free of charge.
