New book features PEER case
A new book, Taking Action, Saving Lives, features our work on getting OSHA to release its toxic exposure database in its 4th chapter. Author Kristin Shrader-Frechette, a professor at Notre Dame, is attempting to raise awareness of the public health threats brought about by industrial and agricultural pollutants, and the harm they cause. See the flyer for more information, including a 20% discount on the purchase price, or find it at Amazon.com.
