In 2007, ten Oregon women and men volunteered to have their bodies tested in a study of chemical pollution in Oregonians. These Oregonians represent a diverse group of people from rural and urban areas throughout the state. Unfortunately, one thing they probably share with all Oregonians is the unwelcome presence of toxic chemicals in their bodies.
Oregonians are polluted with many hazardous industrial chemicals according to a new study conducted by the Oregon Environmental Council and the Oregon Collaborative for Health and the Environment (CHE-OR) - the first of its kind to examine toxic pollutants in Oregonians. The sources of toxic exposure are numerous, but even small, simple changes in lifestyle and purchasing habits can make a significant impact on the pollution level each person carries.
This week, some suggestions on how to reduce our exposure to toxic chemicals.
TTFN, Fred.
