Health Begins at Home Part 2: 10 Simple Steps to a Healthier Lifestyle

Really inspecting materials began when we had children and all of a sudden we were looking at materials more closely along with health and safety. Children fall into a “vulnerable population” because they interact so closely with materials in the environment through touch, ingestion, aspiration in ways that we as adults do not. It’s through these eyes that we should view our environments and take action. Here are 10 simple steps to a healthier lifestyle as created by Parsons Healthy Materials Lab and adapted from material created at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for its Children’s Environmental Health Center (www.cehcenter.org) and Transdisciplinary Center on Early Environmental Exposures (tceee.icahn.mssm.edu).
