Description

Electronic LED lighting may save energy, but is it completely safe? This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about a cancer-causing pesticide still being used in the US, why chemical air fresheners may be harmful to your health, and the Trump administration's push to get rid of proposed limits on emissions of soot from power plants and vehicles. Then Mark Baker, founder of the Softlights Foundation talks about the rapid proliferation of LED lighting, the lack of proper safety testing, and how LED lighting is causing significant health problems for a growing number of people.
