She shows that for the sake of convenience, efficiency, and short-term safety, we have created synthetic chemicals that fundamentally change, at a molecular level, the way our bodies work. The consequences range from diabetes to cancer, reproductive and neurological disorders..Yet it’s hard to imagine life without the creature comforts current materials provide—and Grossman argues we do not have to. A scientific revolution is introducing products that are “benign by design,” developing manufacturing processes that consider health impacts at every stage, and is creating new compounds that mimic rather than disrupt natural systems. Through interviews with leading researchers, Grossman gives us a first look at this radical transformation.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2012Latest edition | | 关键词 | Consumer goods; Environmental chemistry; Environmental toxicology; Green chemistry; Organic pollutants | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-157-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-157-3 | | copyright | Elizabeth Grossman 2012 |
