Chemicals Within

National Geographic’s October issue has an interesting piece about persistent chemicals from our surroundings staying in the bloodstream.  The author was interviewed on Morning Edition this morning as well.  National Geographic has a multimedia feature that allows kids of all ages to delight in learning about the sources of, say, PCBs and dioxins.  Whee!

(There was another good piece on Morning Edition about the development of a drug for pregnant women at risk for premature birth, but it’s not listed, at least when I’m posting this.)
