Ever checked your house for chemicals?
If you've ever wondered what's toxic in your house, you'll want to watch this home walk-through with Jane Houlihan, EWG's Senior Vice-President for Research. She joins Jennifer Folsom, mom to 3 young boys, on an informational walk through the Folsom's Alexandria, Virginia home.
Houlihan identifies toxic chemicals in three key rooms: the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Grab a pad and paper so you're ready to take notes!
If this short TV segment wasn't enough for you (it wasn't for me), check out the full 16-minute video of the toxic home walk-through - it's worth it.
Good Vidio...I wish there was more of a constant reminder of how toxic things really are...consistancy with an issue is always key...we have certainly come a long way with information and knowledge but still move at a snails pace with governments and workplaces...I am so glad to find your web site I do nto feel alone on this issue Thank You

PS...I am at this moment going to check labels, clean closets and clean my house!!!!
I couldn't get to the full length video by clicking on the above link and I couldn't find the full length video on the network website either. Is there a transcript somewhere? Or list of what to watch out for?
