A crisp clean hardcover, no markings throughout: Funny, thought-provoking, and incredibly disturbing, Slow Death by Rubber D uck reveals that just the living of daily life creates a chemical soup insi de each of us. Pollution is no longer just about belching smokestacks and ugly sewer pipes - now, it's personal. The most dangerous pollution has always come from commonplace items in our homes and workplaces. Smith and Lourie ingested and inhaled a host of thing s that surround all of us all the time. This book exposes the extent to whi ch we are poisoned every day of our lives. For this book, over the period o f a week - the kind of week that would be familiar to most people - the aut hors use their own bodies as the reference point and tell the story of poll ution in our modern world, the miscreant corporate giants who manufacture t he toxins, the weak-kneed government officials who let it happen, and the e ffects on people and families across the globe. Parents and concerned citiz ens will have to read this book. Key concerns raised in Slow Death by Rubber Duck: . Flame-retardant chemicals from electronics and household dust polluting o ur blood. . Toxins in our urine caused by leaching from plastics and run-of-the-mill shampoos, toothpastes and deodorant. . Mercury in our blood from eating tuna. . The chemicals that build up in our body when carpets and upholstery off-g as. Ultimately hopeful, the book empowers readers with some simple ideas for protecting themselves and their families, and changing things for the better.
