Summary:
Clearly, the U.S. Environmental Laws only focuses to how emissions is being excreted into the air and water, not to how it sticks or contain to a person that can cause health problems. The higher ups only focused to the boundaries of a pollution from the obvious and popular sources, not focusing to many other important things. Most of the people that has been exposed to the toxin pollutant think that it was safe and unpolluted place like their homes. or their offices, or in any indoor places. An everyday items can be a major threat to a person's health that the industrial pollution because the toxins has a very high concentration.
Most of our toxins in the body came from the things we use indoors or the things we do because it is where all the toxins we use are being held inside and we are being contaminating. For example, benzene, in high concentration can cause most people leukemia, can be found on gasoline and many household products. It is also one of about 4,000 chemicals found in tobacco smoke, if there is a smoker living in the house then the people who is in there will likely to have been exposed to benzene.

Reflection:
After reading the article, it now more aware to the things that me and my family are using indoors such as air fresheners, and even cooking made me shocked too. Every thing that we do always create a threat and it is spreading throughout our walls. We can't possibly stop cooking or cleaning or using household products but we can limit to how we use things so that we have a less chance to have a health problem. Also, I have been thinking that there are families too, that have been doing the same thing as we do, I will tell or ask them to limit to their usages of their supplies.
