Unseen toxins lurk in everyday household products, increasing the risk of cancer and chronic disease. They can contaminate the air we breathe and the water we use, and they’re more common than most people realize. Understanding where these toxins hide empowers us to make safer choices and protect our health and the health of the people we love
