Health risks from fossil fuels touch almost every aspect of our lives. In addition to vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, a wide range of everyday products are made from fossil fuel-based chemicals, including cosmetic products, pesticides, and plastics. Our society’s dependence on fossil fuels not only contributes to climate change, it also increases our risk for breast cancer.
In this episode, The Fossil Fuel to Breast Cancer Pipeline, we speak with Dr. Carol Kwiatkowski about the booming plastics industry and what it means for our health.
