Today Senator Merkley (Oregon) released the preliminary results of a study using the MyExposome wristband (funded by the Environmental Defense fund). While not directly part of our Kickstarter, ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/540997591/know-your-personal-chemical-exposure/ ) this use of the basic wristband technology demonstrates the core science is strong. Now the key is to show we can make this available to the general public and enable citizen scientists to gather their own information on environmental exposures.. Or find ways to partner with institutions or researchers or educators....
Anyway... Click to see the full press release or just read this key quote : “The results of this innovative project show that this isn’t a simple case of being a smart consumer and buying the right products,” said Merkley. “Every wristband showed exposure to toxic chemicals that could have drastic effects on the health of Americans, especially our children. It’s clear from this experiment that we need to take action on every level, in Congress and in our states.”
