No smoking?

 

There are chemicals in everyday life that we don’t know are there, it’s much of the idea of out of sight out of mind. This article that we had read for English class was based around these hidden chemicals, this intrigued writer got a test to see how many of these chemicals are in his body and how many particles per million there are in him. This test was quiet expensive so every day Americans probably won’t get their hands on this type of a test. He found that his body was being flooded with Flame Retardants and a few other hidden dangers. He had found out that the reason for all this in his body was from traveling around the world in airplanes covered in layers of flame retardants to keep the inflight passengers safer. But are the passengers any safer now that they have all those chemicals in there body?

 

Many people may think it is completely appalling that these corporations are doing this on purpose, that they know these chemicals are deadly yet they keep using them. I see these chemicals to be more effective than not, they have more pros than cons. The idea of too much is a completely logic concept, so when someone says what happened if you get too much of these chemicals,  that is exactly what happens you have too much and it can and will be fatal. Sure some are impossible to avoid but those are the ones that we don’t need to be around like flame retardants in planes. It’s not expected for people to be non-stop fly and being these chemicals all the time the chemicals are there for the safety of everyone, and I feel it still allows said safety to stay in place.
