Are You Polluted?

Many of the consumer products we use every day contain toxic chemicals that we found in the bodies of participants in the Pollution in People study. These chemicals leach out of products and get into our air, water, food, and bodies. Pollution in People is a project of several well-respected Washington-state environmental groups, and one aspect of the project is a guide to safer consumer products. The "Less-Toxic Product Choices" guide helps you choose consumer products wisely to avoid toxic chemicals. The choices we make about the products in our homes can make a difference. This site highlights some responsible companies that are reducing or eliminating toxic additives in their products and provides information to make you a smarter, cleaner consumer.
