Healthy Habits for Healthy Homes

"Sometimes it’s obvious when a chemical is hazardous, for example, those that cause a rash of coughing from breathing the fumes. Other chemicals cause no immediate or clear symptoms but can have some of the most insidious long-term health effects – particularly when exposure occurs in-utero or during early childhood.

The Healthy Homes project is designed to introduce families to common in-home sources of toxins and provide practical, affordable solutions to limit potentially toxic contact in their day-to-day life.

The presentation will be an overview of the program resources, discussing endocrine hormone disruptors (phthalates, PFCs, Bisphenols, etc.), “forever chemicals”, and how to avoid exposure as much as possible."
