Common Chemicals: Are Cosmetics and Plastics Safe?

Phthalates are chemicals in common products, such as toys and teething rings, cosmetics, and drugs. These “endocrine disruptors” can interfere with hormones
that control gender. Shanna Swan, Ph.D., a well-respected researcher in this field, will discuss the implications of her research and ways to limit exposure to phthalates. 7-8:30 p.m. at PSU’s Smith Memorial Center, Room 338, 1825 SW Broadway. Suggested donation: $10 (no one turned away). For more info: www.rachelsfriends.org or 503-869-7225.
