Growing up in a town run by organized crime, with a father involved in organized crime, "the life" was all Sal ever knew. Well, that, plus what he learned watching '80s sitcoms and movies. But sometimes life throws changes at you that force you to reexamine who you really are and what you want out of life. Can Sal adjust to a new life hiding out in the suburbs, wearing polo shirts, discussing 401Ks, and fighting battles against suburban moms and neighborhood kids? Or will he go back to his old criminal ways, inflicting pain and blowing his cover?

The landmark book about the toxicity of everyday life, updated, revised and re-issued for its 10th anniversary, along with the experiments from Smith and Lourie's second book, Toxin Toxout.It's amazing how little can change in a decade. In 2009, a book transformed the way we see our frying pans, thermometers and tuna sandwiches. Daily life was bathing us in countless toxins that accumulated in our tissues, were passed on to our children and damaged our health. To expose the extent of this toxification, environmentalists Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie offered themselves to science and undertook a series of over a dozen experiments to briefly raise their personal levels of mercury, BPA, Teflon and other pollutants. The ease with which ordinary activities caused dangerous levels to build in their bodies was a wake-up call, and readers all over the world responded. But did government regulators and corporations? Ten years later, there is good news. But not much. Concise, shocking, practical and hopeful, this new combined edition of one of the most important books ever published about green living will put the nasty stuff back where it belongs: on the national agenda and out of our bodies.
