Shedding Light on Chemicals
We are exposed to chemicals on a daily basis. Sometimes the exposure is obvious: a cleaning solution, garden fertilizer or even the coating of a non-stick pan in your kitchen.
But many times those interactions are not so clear: the chemical makeup of the water bottle you drink from, the dye on a shirt or the deodorizer in the bathroom at work.
Exposure Science
Chemicals surround us: in the air, the water, our food, our clothes and our furniture. Which ones are dangerous? How much of them is dangerous? Watch as EPA scientists in Research Triangle Park use chemical toxicology tests to answer these questions.
