Corporations, Chemicals, and Chicanery

Jim Morris, author of The Cancer Factory, in conversation with Tamarra James-Todd, associate professor of environmental reproductive epidemiology.

Chemicals are pervasive in modern life, especially in industrialized nations. But the impact of chemicals on our health and environment are often after-thoughts, especially for the companies that use them. This is true despite numerous examples where industrial chemicals have caused cancer, maternal and pediatric harm, and cardiovascular issues. Join Morris and James-Todd as they discuss what his reporting and her research show about corporate disregard for environmental harms, lack of poor enforcement of regulations, and the health harms and environmental justice problems these create.

Copies of The Cancer Factory will be available for sale.
