with Emily Monosson, author and toxicologist
Tuesday, March 7, 6pm-8pm
FREE registration appreciated
Local author and toxicologist Emily Monosson will be offering a discussion/workshop about toxicology and the kinds of things toxicologists think about. She will begin with the familiar, the drugs we take: dosing; problems with combinations; and why do we hear so often about liver and kidney toxicity? Then have us consider the toxic chemicals we don’t choose to ingest, pesticides, plastics, pcbs and others, which pose more of a problem and to whom? Emily’s goal is for you to be able to be well prepared when you read about toxic chemicals in the news. This program is supported by a grant from the Toxics Use Reduction Institute.
