Bathing in Toxic Nasty

Discovering new ways we're killing ourself, one shower at a time. Not only is death a side effect of cleanliness, but there's also a negative impact on our reproductive systems. Death and no babies (or scary babies). I like those odds.

"The concentration of Total VOCs in the Wal-Mart tested shower curtain was so high that the analytical equipment was saturated and further testing had to be halted so that lab equipment would not be damaged."

"All five curtains tested in phase one contained phthalates DEHP and DINP, chemicals banned in children’s toys in California, Washington, and the European Union."
