    In search of safe replacements for harmful chemicals used in cookware, carpets, clothing, cosmetics and more

    March 26, 2018

    When Donald Taves discovered two kinds of fluoride in his blood in the late 1960s, he immediately knew something was wrong. Everyone assumed that blood contained just one type of fluoride, a naturally occurring form that health officials added to drinking water to prevent cavities. But levels in people’s blood didn’t seem to relate to those found in their water…

    Are hazardous vapors seeping into your home?

    September 5, 2017

    When Jane Horton bought her dream 800-square-foot farmhouse in 1975, she thought little of the semiconductor manufacturing plant across the street. Even after the company’s buildings were demolished and a chain-link fence went up around the campus, she still had no knowledge of the toxic dangers lurking beneath her feet — let alone of the fact that they were invading…

We know that meat-based meals require more farmland than plant-based ones. But which diet is the best fit for the mix of croplands and grazing land that supports agriculture today?

    The developing world is awash in pesticides. Does it have to be?

    What’s in those new plastic pipes delivering drinking water?

    May 2, 2016

    The calls and e-mails arrive as often as several times a week from people with concerns about drinking water.

    If you live in the U.S., chances are you are among the 84 percent of American consumers who purchase organic food.
