Canary in the Courtroom (English Edition) baixar livro de graça

Canary in the Courtroom is the compelling true story of a woman poisoned in her own home by a pesticide and her resultant civil action against the pesticide company that applied it. It raises questions and encourages awareness about the toxins in our environment.

Christine Rankine, then a 54-year-old teacher, was living a normal, busy life when she hired Vermini Termite and Pesticide Company to kill termites in her home. The pesticide applied was d-limonene, a chemical that is common in everyday products. What happened to Christine after the pesticide application is now a gripping biography that provides not only courtroom drama but includes valuable information about chemicals in our environment.

Canary in the Courtroom documents Christine Rankine's experience in and outside the courtroom, and illustrates what can happen to an individual after chemical exposure. Just as canaries once warned coal miners about toxins in the mines, chemically injured men, women and children are now signaling a universal warning about toxins in our environment. We are being exposed to increasing amounts of chemicals in our lives, and each day more people are becoming injured from that exposure. Statistics reveal that nearly 17% of the world's population suffers from some form of chemical sensitivity, and research indicates that the percentage is increasing.

Ms. MacLeod has written a timely and compelling story into which she has skillfully woven valuable consumer information. She describes how we are often misled about the existence of chemicals in the products we use. She points out loopholes that allow toxic ingredients in common products and exposes flaws in federal laws that are meant to protect us.

What happened to Christine Rankine could happen to anyone. Reading her story will entertain you, enlighten you, and perhaps give you the knowledge necessary to save you or a family member from possible chemical injury.
