What's Work Got To Do With Toxicology
Guest: Fred Berman, DVM, PHD
Host: Sam Greenspan, MPH

Have you ever thought about all the elements that can impact your health when you walk outside on your way to work? Do you know what risks you can be exposed to when you go to work each day and also what unhealthy exposures or toxic substances you could back home with you? Some exposures can be prevented altogether and for others, we can reduce the risks that come with them.

Dr. Fred Berman joined us by phone to talk about Toxicology and its' impact on our work and home life. We will talk about the impact of working with toxic substances on the job, and how reducing risks can help workers live safer and healthier lives at work and at home.
