- catalog abstract "Dan Fagin and Marianne Lavelle, two prize-winning investigative reporters who specialize in environmental writing, and the Center for Public Integrity have dug deep into the secretive world of the chemical giants and unearthed enough disturbing questions to shake America's faith in many household products and in much of the food we consume. Without polemic, the authors show precisely how manufacturers have managed to keep harmful products on the market even when safer, Cheaper alternatives are available. Drawing on the resources of the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit group well known for its exposes of political influence in Washington, the authors offer vivid examples of how the chemical industry flexes its muscle in order to outmaneuver government watchdogs. Toxic Deception also details the stories of courageous families fighting the system, like the Grahams, who, after a series of pesticide sprayings, saw their farm become. A chamber of environmental horrors where dead birds littered the fields, the family cow gave bloody milk, the pond foamed, and family members suffered an array of serious illnesses. Not just another jeremiad exposing the injustices and hazards of the chemical industry, Toxic Deception explains how consumers can reduce their own risk and rescue a flawed system of health and safety laws.".
