Show 42: Excerpt - Toxins and Fertility in Alaska
We’re blessed in Alaska with wild fish and game, plenty of open space and fresh air so it’s easy to think of our environment as “clean”. But it may be that Alaskans are exposed to just as many or more pollutants and chemicals as our lower 48 counterparts and and they may be affecting our fertility and reproduction for generations to come.
Resources for more information on avoiding harmful toxins:
• Alaska Community Action on Toxics
• Chemicals and Reproductive Health
• The Collaborative on Health and the Environment
• Bad Plastics
As contributor Jessica Cochran reports, a slew of researchers are working to figure out just how different chemicals affect reproductive systems.
