Non-specific request for media re>toxins in things we buy

Anyone seen any good recent-ish media on the things that are exceedingly bad for us in everything we buy (e.g. phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic fragrances which I believe encompasses one or two of the previous, asbestos in the talcum powder apparently 20% of the talc sold is contaminated, ...)

I'm building up a section tentatively titled "Carcinogenic Home & Garden", until/unless I find a better name.

This is just based off a quick Google search, but there is a list of 8 documentaries relating to the subject of toxins etc you can read more about here: https://www.allerair.com/blogs/clean-air-news/toxics-and-health-8-docume...

Plus a more recent one called Toxic Beauty that is about toxins in cosmetics. I can probably share some of these later if they are not already here...

Thanks for that, turns out I had a couple of those already and was able to find a couple of others. If you have any leads on Dying to Have Known (2006), Under the Dome (2015) or Chemerical (2009) that would be phenomenal. Also Toxic Beauty, could not find that one either…
