When
Libby McDonald began her relentless journey to unearth
the major key toxins that threaten the well-being of
our children, she did so not as a scientist but as a
concerned mother.
The
result of her year-long investigation is THE TOXIC
SANDBOX: The Truth About Environmental Toxins and Our
Children's Health (Perigee; November 6, 2007).
McDonald
hopes that this book will serve as an accessible resource
guide for everyone--from parents and health professionals
to school administrators and lawmakers--to finally get
real answers about the link between children's health
and environmental risks, as well as the steps we need
to take to keep them safe from those risks.
