Dodging the Toxic Bullet presents workable strategies that show how we can live a longer, healthier life by breathing clean air, eating healthful food, drinking safe water, and using nontoxic products. Author David R. Boyd provides:

• accessible background information about on a range of hazards: mercury in fish, carcinogens in cleaning products, lead in toys, and lethal E. coli in ground beef, for example
• clear directions for reducing risk· easy-to-follow advice for parents to protect infants and children
• guidance on changing government policies and business practices through advocacy
• informative sidebars and compelling checklists
  

 Deaths and illnesses caused by exposure to environmental hazards are preventable, not inevitable. Dodging the Toxic Bullet will empower you with the information and steps needed to fight back against the invisible epidemic.
