 itle: Flame Retardants:  Friend or Foe?\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Heather Staple
 ton (CBL alumna PhD 2000\; Dan and Bunny Gabel Associate Professor of Envi
 ronmental Ethics and Sustainable Environmental Management\, Nicolas School
  for the Environment\, Duke University)\n\n\n\nAbstract: To reduce their f
 lammability and the risk of fire-related deaths and injuries\, a number of
  building materials\, furniture\, and electronics in our homes are now tre
 ated with chemical flame retardants.  However\, this has led to a signific
 ant increase in our exposure to these chemicals\, and research suggests th
 at these exposures are associated with neurodevelopment deficits in childr
 en\, thyroid disorders\, and potentially cancer.  Please join UMCES-CBL al
 umna and Duke University Associate Professor Dr. Heather Stapleton as she 
 discusses the good\, the bad and the ugly of flame retardant chemicals in 
 our home.\n\n\n\n This seminar is presented as a part of the Science for C
 itizens seminar series. For a full list of the public seminars in this ser
 ies\, please visit: https://www.umces.edu/cbl/science-citizens.
