Flame-retardant chemicals from electronics and household dust polluting our blood.Key concerns raised in Slow Death by Rubber Duck: Parents and concerned citizens will have to read this book. For this book, over the period of a week - the kind of week that would be familiar to most people - the authors use their own bodies as the reference point and tell the story of pollution in our modern world, the miscreant corporate giants who manufacture the toxins, the weak-kneed government officials who let it happen, and the effects on people and families across the globe. This book exposes the extent to which we are poisoned every day of our lives. Smith and Lourie ingested and inhaled a host of things that surround all of us all the time. The most dangerous pollution has always come from commonplace items in our homes and workplaces. Pollution is no longer just about belching smokestacks and ugly sewer pipes - now, it's personal. Funny, thought-provoking, and incredibly disturbing, Slow Death by Rubber Duck reveals that just the living of daily life creates a chemical soup inside each of us.
