Chemical Exposure
Researcher Pleads with President to Help Stop Chemical Exposures (#2352)
2012-12-21
Chemical exposure researcher Dr. Theo Colborn, who founded the Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX), recently gave a public talk on the health impacts of chemical exposures. The event was organized by TEDx, a speaker’s series with a mission to facilitate discussion on “ideas worth spreading.” (Although the two organizations bear the same name, they are not related.)
Colborn’s work focuses on how small doses of chemicals within the environment impact the endocrine system, which fuels a child’s development. Colborn read a long letter to President Obama, asking for his help in reducing chemical exposures.

“By drilling deep into the bowels of the earth for coal, oil and natural gas,” says Colborn, “we have unwittingly and catastrophically altered the chemistry of the biosphere and the human womb.” To hear more, watch the video below:
