M3.1 Biomonitoring
If I were given these hypothetical lab results, I would not be too shocked by the results because I am well aware that I use a lot of different kinds of personal care products and makeup products where some of these chemicals are found. The lab results are a confirmation that the harmful chemicals really are present in my body because although I know our bodies can absorb chemicals from personal care products, the full realization wouldn't hit me until I see actual evidence taken from my own body. My first thought would be how do I rid those chemicals from my body and how do I avoid them. The lab results would be a loud wakeup call for me to get myself to be more educated about the chemicals I expose myself too.

Hi, I could not agree more. We have to figure out a way to rid ourselves of these chemicals at the same time we are ingesting them. It is certainly a push-pull relationship that will continue forever.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI agree, I wouldn't be shocked either. I would totally want to find a way to rid my body of these chemicals and reduce the exposure gradually so that my body doesn't take more of these harmful components in.
