<h4>Toxins in Personal Care Products</h4>
<p>Time: 2:00pm | Location: Room 107</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">No
one is minding the store―not the cosmetics or plastics industry, and
not the FDA. Toxins are commonplace in personal care products―even in
children's bubble bath. Other consumer products also contain toxic
chemicals, including baby bottles, food cans, toys, furniture and
electronics. In the past two decades, we've learned that exposure to
even very low doses of these chemicals, especially endocrine
disruptors, can have serious long term health effects, like obesity,
ADHD, heart disease, reproductive problems and cancer―all of which are
steadily on the rise.<br>
<br>
Mia Davis of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the national Workgroup
for Safe Markets will present some of the problems and solutions to
these environmental health problems and answer your questions about how
to keep your family safer, and what we do to change our country's
broken chemical policies.<br>
