Resources and Links for Week April 12

EWG's Guide to Triclosan Need another concern about antibacterial products?  Triclosan was discovered in the urine of 75% of Americans.

It's Time to Look Upstream (Living Downstream Trailor Link) via Enviroblog. If you've followed my blog for any length of time or have had any sort of conversation with me about environmental health, then you know that Sandra Steingraber is an environmental researcher that I think everyone should read.  Her work is incredibly informative and inclusive.

Happiness: No Purchase Necessary, Says Study via Treehugger.

EWG's Healthy Home Tips.  Really great room by room resource of healthy home tips.

Real TSCA reform: Will you know it when you see it? via Safer Chemicals, Healthier Families blog. Great information on what reform should look like for the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Chemicals in Newborns via EWG & The Women's Conference.  Brief overview of the high number of chemicals that impact our newborns and potential legislation for it.

Pesticide Linked to Developmental Delays.  While we all know that organic is better for so many reasons, here's just another study demonstrating the negative health effects pesticides have on our young and unborn.  The evidence is pretty irrefutable. 

Most of the links this week pertain to chemical exposures, etc...
