Hidden Secrets: Toxins in our Environment

32 year old Heather is a nurse.  So she’s used to caring for other people.  But she’s also pregnant and has to think about how her actions can impact her baby.  The soaps and shampoos she uses as well as cleaning products are all potential sources of unwanted exposures, many of them harmful.  Heather and her husband talk about the changes they've made to protect the health of their baby.

The 15-minute video also features experts speaking on the links between health and the environment, and offers easy action steps to reduce risk.  Experts include:  Ted Schettler, MD, Science and Environmental Health Network; Anna Gilmore Hall, RN, Health Care Without Harm; Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic; Stacy Malkan, author of Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry; and Meg McGoldrick, Abington Memorial Hospital.
