Our daily poison : from pesticides to packaging, how chemicals have contaminated the food chain and are making us sick / Marie-Monique Robin ; translated by Allison Schein and Lara Vergnaud. by Robin, Marie-Monique, author. New York, NY : The New Press : Distributed by Perseus Distribution, 2014. Subjects Environmental toxicology.   Chemical industry -- Environmental aspects.   Chronic diseases -- Environmental aspects.   Chemicals -- Physiological effect.   Pesticides -- Physiological effect.   Food contamination. ISBN:  9781595589095 (hardcover) : 1595589090 (hardcover) Description:  470 pages ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Over the last thirty years, we have seen an increase in rates of cancer, neurodegenerative disease, reproductive disorders, and diabetes, particularly in developed countries. At the same time, since the end of World War II approximately 100,000 synthetic chemical molecules have invaded our environment--and our food chain. In Our Daily Poison, award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin investigates the links between these two concerning trends, revealing how corporate interests and our ignorance about these invisible poisons may be costing us our lives. The result of a rigorous two-year-long investigation that took Robin across three continents (North America, Europe, and Asia), Our Daily Poison documents the many ways in which we encounter a shocking array of chemicals in our everyday lives--from the pesticides that blanket our crops to the additives and plastics that contaminate our food--and their effects on our bodies over time. Gathering as evidence scientific studies, testimonies of international regulatory agencies, and interviews with farm workers suffering from acute chronic poisoning, Robin makes a compelling case for outrage and action.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73849 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.73849 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73849 Robin Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73849 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 363.73849 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73849 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
