In the podcast below, you’ll hear stories about Rachel Carson and Silent Spring, Theo Colborn and endocrine disruption, Lois Gibbs and Love Canal, Arlene Blum and toxic flame retardants in children’s pyjamas, in their own voices. The voices of researcher Carol Kwiatkowski and environmental health biologist Pete Myers are also engaged in telling the stories.
Note: These stories are by no means comprehensive, but rather reflect the author’s experiences and the individuals with whom she remembers most significantly.
