But did government regulators and corporations? Ten years later, there is good news. The ease with which ordinary activities caused dangerous levels to build in their bodies was a wake-up call, and readers all over the world responded. To expose the extent of this toxification, environmentalists Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie offered themselves to science and undertook a series of over a dozen experiments to briefly raise their personal levels of mercury, BPA, Teflon and other pollutants. Daily life was bathing us in countless toxins that accumulated in our tissues, were passed on to our children and damaged our health. In 2009, a book transformed the way we see our frying pans, thermometers and tuna sandwiches. It's amazing how little can change in a decade. The landmark book about the toxicity of everyday life, updated, revised and re-issued for its 10th anniversary, along with the experiments from Smith and Lourie's second book, Toxin Toxout.
