10 Everyday Pollution Solutions
Source: Environmental Working Group
1. Use cast iron pans instead of nonstick. Read about Teflon health concerns.
2. To avoid chemicals leaching into food, go easy on processed, canned or fast foods and
never microwave plastic. Read about Bisphenol A, a toxic food-can lining ingredient
associated with birth defects.
3. Buy organic, or eat vegetables and fruit from the "Cleanest 12" list. Find out more about the
"Dirty Dozen."
4. Use iodized salt to combat chemical interference from the thyroid. Read about rocket fuel's
effect on the thyroid.
5. Seal outdoor wooden structures. Order a test kit to find out if your wooden deck, picnic table,
or playset is leaching arsenic.
6. Leave your shoes at the door. This cuts down on dust-bound pollutants in the home.
7. Avoid perfume, cologne and products with added fragrance. Search for personal care
products that are fragrance-free, or check the products you're already using.
8. Buy products with natural fibers, like cotton and wool, that are naturally fire resistant.
Use our list of products and manufacturers to avoid the chemical flame retardant PBDE.
9. Eat low-mercury fish like tilapia & pollock, rather than high-mercury choices like tuna &
swordfish. Check our Safe Fish List to see which fish to avoid and what's safe to eat.
10. Filter your water for drinking and cooking. How does your tap water stack up? Search our
tap water database to see what you're drinking.
