assignment #8!

I found this article called Home, Sick, Home by Melissa Hendricks. It has awesome illustrations done by Melissa Grimes. The article is about how our home and the indoors in general are some of the most polluted places we can be. A point that Hendricks brings up is that every time we enter our homes we bring in the toxins from outside and then the toxins stay closed up inside our homes. The article is divided up in to sections about different pollutants. A few of the sections are: Formaldehyde, Chloroform, Lead and Pesticides. Hendricks talks about all the different pollutants in our homes. Most you would never even think of!
Below is one of the illustrations from the article!



Here is a picture from National Geographic of a man in China who has neck lesions from the toxins that pollute the air:
