Exposure to toxic chemicals in our environment begins early in life--even before birth.
Ken Cook, President and co-founder of the Environmental Working Group, is a strong proponent for a Kids-Safe Chemical Act, to reduce children's exposure to toxics in the environment.
Additional online resources from the Environmental Working Group include the Shopper's Guide to Pesticides, and their Cosmetic Saftety database.

The Environmental Working Group is also pressing for the creation of a human "toxome," similar to the genetic map known as the human genome, to identify where and how toxic chemicals affect the body's healthy biological processes.
