Living Downstream: An ecological looks at cancer and the Environment- Sandra Steingraber

In this selection Sandra Steingbar talks about the lack of funding and research on cancers caused environmentally. Despite the high percentage of cancers due to environmental causes monitoring of low level toxins are not being followed.  She explains that people who inherits cancer are more susceptible and vulnerable to carcinogenic toxins in the environment. Therefore, it is important that we put more effort in reducing the amount of toxins we use in the environment than focusing more on cancers that are inherited genetically.
