The chemical industry is huge. Widely defined, it accounts for 7% of world GDP. Yet despite the ubiquity of potentially toxic man-made chemicals, consumer health protection is woefully inadequate. Professor Howard's work has revealed cancer-causing (or 'carcinogenic') effects of many manufactured chemical compounds, some of which pose particular risk to the unborn foetus. Until health and safety standards improve, Dr Howard advocates a chemical hygiene discipline, just as we have a biological hygiene discipline. With better knowledge and increased awareness of the dangers, certain steps can be -- and must be -- taken to reduce unnecessary exposure.

Part 1: Very informative COA. It further demonstrates the incredible irresponsibility of the corporate-industrial complex towards humanity. Profit drives the system and the system drives us -- the People -- down a destructive path. It's really quite tragic.

Part 2: Of course, Government is acting in unison and complicity with these fictitious entities known as the "corporation" allowing these and other major atrocities to occur. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when many of us mistakenly and naively think that our governments are actually protecting us, our health, and our interests. Thanks for the video!
