Description
There is not a single area of everyday life that is free from suspected or confirmed poisons - asbestos, pesticides, phlalates, etc.- carcinogens or endocrine disruptors. To understand the reasons for our collective acceptance of this situation, this book investigates the history of white lead and the social, industrial, scientific and political rationales that have imposed their rhythms and requirements, making it – for centuries - a legal poison.
