medical gauges, to industrial paints, IV bags and tubes and stain-resistant clothing.

Dr. Sean Palfrey, professor of pediatrics and public health at Boston University School of Medicine, and medical director of Boston's Lead Poisoning Prevention Program says, "I was tested for chemicals that have been associated with certain diseases whose incidences are on the rise. If we as physicians are to understand our patients' health problems - from cancer to neurological harm to reproductive dysfunctions - we need to take a look at chemical exposure in our bodies."
