M1.4 List of Environmental Exposures
This activity made me realize I am always surrounded by chemical, biological, and radiological exposures wherever I go. I feel like it is near impossible to avoid all these exposures because I can encounter these exposures by doing my daily activities, such as cleaning where I am exposed to harmful chemicals from the cleaning supplies. Looking at the list that my group created, there are many exposures that appear in all the four categories, indicating that they are very common exposures that everyone may have been exposed too at least once in their life. My group did not have much listed for school and so I decided to do a bit of research about the possible environmental exposures in a school setting. One thing I want to add to the list is the toxic chemicals from art supplies.

What are we to do as consumers? You and I share a similar view when it comes to what's around us. All items could potentially cause cancer. What are we to do? I guess we start chipping away at the most high risk items then work our way down to the lowest risk items. -Dan
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely something I thought about too. The constant exposure to all these harmful factors is a scary thought. Like Dan, I think it's probably best to start trying to lower our exposure to the highest risk items first, then go on to lower risk exposures.
