EXPOSED: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power
By Mark Schapiro
September 2007
Mark Schapiro's new book investigates the response of U.S. business and the
government to the raising of environmental standards in Europe, revealing
how Americans' health is being endangered as the U.S. becomes a dumping
ground for toxic products banned elsewhere. He tracks this shift in power from America to Europe, and the stampede of American lobbyists from Washington to Brussels, the new center of action for environmental protection and innovation.
