10 Everyday Pollution Solutions

1.  Use cast iron pans instead of nonstick. Read about Teflon health concerns

2. To avoid chemicals leaching into food, go easy on processed, canned or fast
foods and never microwave plastic.
Read about  Bisphenol A, a toxic food-can
lining ingredient associated with birth defects.

3. Buy organic, or eat vegetables and fruit from the "Cleanest 12" list. Find out
more about the "Dirty Dozen."
4. Use iodized salt to combat chemical interference from the thyroid. Read about
rock fuel's effect on the thyroid.

5. Seal outdoor wooden structures.  Order a test kit to find out if your wooden
deck, picnic table, or play set is leaching arsenic.
6. Leave your shoes at the door. This minimizes distribution of dust-bound
pollutants.

7. Avoid perfume, cologne and products with added fragrance.
Search for
personal care products that are fragance-free, or check the products you're
already using.

8 Buy products with natural fibers, like cotton and wool, that are naturally fire
resistant.  
Read more about the chemical flame retardant PBDE.

9. Eat low-mercury fish like tilapia & pollock, rather than high-mercury choices
like tuna and swordfish.
Check our Safe Fish List to see which fish to avoid and
what's safe to eat.

10. Filter your water for drinking and cooking.  How does your tap water stack
up? Search our tap water database to see what you're drinking.
