Clean New York authored the national report, Is It In Us? Chemical Contamination of our Bodies: Toxic Trespass, Regulatory Failure and Opportunities for Action, which tested 35 Americans for three different kinds of toxic chemicals.  What did we find?  No surprise, but it's still shocking: not only are toxic chemicals in products and pollution, they're in us.
