In the book Death by Rubber Duck,
​a pair of environmental activists from Canada wanted to learn how everyday things used about the house affected their health.




​
​

 They discovered increased levels of many toxic chemicals simply from
using/consuming products routinely found in our homes.
Bisphenol -A (BPA) was banned in 
Canada well before it was banned in the US.
Tell me about BPA. What is it used for?
Why is it dangerous to our health.

When was its use regulated in the US and what actions led to it being regulated?
