path that other chemicals from other sources do, so you have this whole mixture of an 80 thousand chemical soup that we all live in and those all combine together to have effects. we also know that those different chemicals and exposures interact with our own characteristics as people, where we were born, where we grew up, the environmental and social stressors that we may or may not have encountered as children and your genes, your diet, our lifestyle, our physical activity, also shape, how vulnerable we might be to those chemical exposures so those are some key concepts to give a foundation for what we're going to get into now, and now we're going to get a little bit practical, so healthy homes, and here's our healthy, happy home, we're going to jump right on into the kitchen and we're going to jump into the cup board and talk about canned food, you might have heard of the chemical bpa, you'll see it on water bottles and baby bottles, and that means it does not have the chemical in it, bpa, what you might not know, it's not only in plastic but also in the lining of most food cans so you'

i think a lot has changed in the world about what we know about chemicals and what chemicals are used in the duration of most of my lifetime so we could change the laws so that new knowledge is integrated in how we screen chemicals for safety. today we think about 84 thousand chemicals are out there and about 1 thousand more are added each year and most of these, we don't have any human health data for, 90%, no human health data at all and hundreds of these are in our bodies, we know from studies, so we need to pass comprehensive legislation, a couple of weeks ago, tony testified in front of the environment and public works committee on why we need to pass and get the safe cosmetics out there on the floor of that senate, he did a fantastic job and i stole this off the video which is archiving, you can watch it, and this act would call for quick action on the chemicals of greatest concern, would increase access to basic health and safety information on chemicals, would use the best science to assess safety, so not old science but new science, would seek to protect vulnerable population

chemical weapons really varies tremendously. attacking an unprotected civilian population under optimal conditions could have very dramatic impact. i mean, thousands of casualties. if you attack well-protected troops then it may have very little impact except for the inconvenience of having to wear protective suits. >> i think there's one other factor that i was able to interview and eyewitness who says -- described the chemical weapons attack. he lives in a town about five miles outside of damascus and he spoke of these two explosions that left a kind of blue haze. but the other factor is panic. he just said "my god, people were terrified. people were streaming into the hospitals. animals were choking to death on the ground. cows were dying, dogs, chickens, birds dropping out of the sky." he said "people are living in fear now." and you can imagine what this means in a large-scale attack. you're talking about flows of refugees which are already enormous to jordan. i mean, the fifth-largest city in jordan is the refugee camp on

these places with chemical weapons. that is the problem with syria. there are no good options. >> if you think there's no way to secure the weapons, do you think we will get to the point where that is necessary? >> i do not know. this thing has deteriorated. how far i cannot possibly predict. is that thenow terrorist islamic groups have grown in strain. strength. implausible region as reprehensible as it has been for decided to be murdering his own they think that controls me the most are terrorists using their hands on chemical weapons. there are no good options to preventing that. >> what is the military strategy for containing the damaged? >> the military has to have a number of plans on the shelf depending on how events ago. i would say we would all hope and expect that putting huge numbers of troops into syria would not be something that we ever exercise. it is important for the military to have a variety of plans on the table using all the technology, the best forces we have available. it is up to the president to
