Summary





There are many toxins affecting us that we don't know about. When we brush our teeth, drive our cars, or take a shower. Food coloring, pesticides, cigarette smoke, and car exhaust. These are all things that affect us that we dont even know about. They can cause many forms of cancer and behavioral disorders. Most of these toxins are invisible or go unnoticed which make them even more deadly. We all need to put forth the effort to keep these toxins out of the air and our bodies.







Opinion







I can't believe these chemicals could cause such immense damage to our bodies. A problem like this should be reported or at least to try and cut down on these toxins. The fact that we are usually surrounded by these chemicals makes it even worse. Car exhaust and foo coloring is something we encounter everyday. We should all make an effort to cut down on these harmful toxins.







Why do you think no one has reported this problem?







How long do you think this problem has been going on?







Do you think the companies that produce these chemicals know or even care about what there products do to people?

    I can't believe that these toxins are harmful enough to be deadly! It would be extremely hard to try to not be affected by these toxins when we don't even know that they could be there. Especially since pretty much everyone experiences things like food coloring every day. I know that I try to hold my breath when I walk near someone smoking, but maybe breathing in just a little cigarette smoke could do a lot of damage. Now I am really scared that I won't know when or if I am being affected by this!

    How could it affect us while taking a shower?

    How do we keep these out of our bodies?

    Why isn't there a warning about this all over the news?

    I'm surprised that we are exposed dangerous toxins everyday.The fact that its in common everyday things like car exhaust makes it almost unavoidable. I really don't like that the companies that make these products do not care enough to make sure that their products are safe. The government should be making sure that our products are safe to use.

    I think the companies know about the chemicals but they don't care about how it affects people because they just want to money.
