Lauded as "the environmental book of the decade" by the Detroit News, America the Poisoned, now expanded, updated and retitled Cleaning Up America the Poisoned, reveals that toxic chemical contamination potentially threatens the entire U.S. population.Lewis Regenstein, two of whose books were nominated for Pulitzer Prizes, shows in his latest work that deadly cancer-causing chemicals are found regularly in our food, air, water, and our own bodies in various forms; that dangerous radiation threatens our lives not just from accidents such as Three Mile Island, but from power lines, computers, and other electronic devices and that such contamination is contributing to our current cancer epidemic -- killing 520,000 of us annually.
Cleaning Up America the Poisoned offers practical solutions to such problems, showing how to protect ourselves from these dangers.
