Communicating about Chemical Body Burden, with Tracey Woodruff and Rachel Morello-Frosch




EHP : The Researcher's Perspective show

Summary: Biomonitoring studies reveal what we've been exposed to, but the significance of these exposures is not always clear-and when the participants in such studies are children or pregnant women, this lack of certainty can be especially unnerving. Reporting body burden findings back to study participants and to the general public therefore poses major ethical and logistical dilemmas, as Tracey Woodruff and Rachel Morello-Frosch discuss with host Ashley Ahearn.
