crosspost: new EWG study on BODY BURDEN

[Guest guest]

<< Just wanted to give your organization a heads up on a report being released

this week by the Environmental Working Group regarding testing humans for

multiple chemical exposure.

This study employs sensitive new laboratory techniques to detect chemicals

and assess their health effects, a growing number of researchers in the

United States and abroad are testing blood, urine and tissue for an array of

environmental contaminants that find their way into the human population

through pollution or consumer products.

This "body burden" study is being released on Thursday, January 30th.

Please check out our website for more information: http://www.ewg.org.

Let me know if you need more information, and please feel free to pass this

information along to members and supporters of MCS Health & Environment.
