Pollution is no longer just about belching smokestacks and ugly sewer pipes – now, it's personal.

The most dangerous pollution has always come from commonplace items in our homes and workplaces. Join us as we welcome Bruce Lourie for his exposé on the extent to which we are poisoned every day of our lives. Over the period of a week – the kind of week that would be familiar to most people – the authors of Slow Death by Rubber Duck used their own bodies as the reference point to tell the story of pollution in our modern world, the miscreant corporate giants who manufacture the toxins, the weak-kneed government officials who let it happen, and the effects on people and families across the globe.
