Last week a coalition of leading physicians, scientists and health advocates called for tougher regulation of chemicals in common household items — including flame-retardant furniture and food wrapping. We’ll talk with experts about how these chemicals could impact your child’s development, and about how to reduce your family’s exposure. We’ll also discuss the sweeping new federal law on toxic chemicals, which Congress passed last month.

Irva Hertz-Picciotto, professor of Epidemiology and of Environmental & Occupational Health, UC Davis; director of the UC Davis Environmental Health Sciences Center
Sonya Lunder, senior analyst, Environmental Working Group
