Abstract:

This guide covers outdoor pollution in the air, soil, and water in your community. There are other exposures you and your family might experience from the air inside your home (molds, chemicals evaporating from furniture stain treatments and electronics); from the food you eat (pesticides in produce, mercury in fish); from your workplace (hazardous materials and chemicals, biological agents); and from the personal products you use on your body (chemicals in shampoo, hair gel, deodorant, lotions). These exposures and their associated health effects are beyond the scope of this guide.
