Kinshasha will be talking with Dr. Paul Blanc about his book How Everyday Products Make People Sick. This conversation will reveal the hidden health dangers in many of the seemingly innocent products we encounter every day--a tube of glue in a kitchen drawer, a bottle of bleach in the laundry room, a rayon scarf on a closet shelf, a brass knob on the front door, a wood plank on an outdoor deck.

Dr. Paul Blanc is a physician with extensive experience in public health.
