phthalate-free shower curtain

Heather Trim, co-author and Toxics Program manager, People For Puget Sound, shows a phthalate-free shower curtain from Ikea. Her study urges Gov. Gregoire's Puget Sound Partnership and other state agencies to take action to phase out phthalates and other key toxins from everyday products. “We don’t think it should be the PEOPLE who have to worry about this. We shouldn’t have to go to a store and think: 'Does this have phthalates?'...We want the burden to be shifted to the industry." (Photo: Grant M. Haller)
