SUMMARY:
This article talks about how children are being exposed to everyday chemicals before they come out of a mothers womb. With being exposed to chemicals more children are being born with developmental problems.
REACTION:
Learning about all the chemicals and toxins in our environment has really opened my eyes. I didn't realize how many chemicals are around us. Everything we touch could possibly be hurting us. In my article they talked about how there are 84,000 chemicals on the market today but only one percent of them have been studied for safety. But without those chemicals alot of our every day stuff wouldn't be created. But what shocked me the most is that the chemicals mothers use on a daily basis are harming their children. In 2009 researchers found that a child as an average of 232 chemicals in their blood. This children are being harmed by our enviornment before they are even breathing this air.
