Article Post 2

A review by the Washington post states that the book does a good job exposing the harmful effects of the chemicals being absorbed by our bodies. The review also includes that this book is a step in the right direction for consumer safety and awareness toward what is in the products we buy.

Slow Death by Rubber Duck is a book that brings us back to reality. Without books like this the truth about harmful chemicals is kept from the public by the chemical companies which claim their products are safe. I think that the author did the public a service by doing the experiments and reseach in order to bring valid evidence about the chemicals. By raising awareness over the dangers of chemicals in everyday life there is hope that consumer guidelines will be more strict and allow for a safer environment in which children can grow up free of side effects from chemical body burden.
