This six-part investigative series reports on the proliferation of toxic flame retardants in many household products, and on deceptive campaigns waged by chemical manufacturers and the tobacco industry to promote the use of these chemicals.
This series, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and winner of several national journalism awards, heightened attention to Americans' everyday exposures to toxic chemicals and to the need for reforms of chemicals policy to protect health.
