It's been more than 10 days since the LA fires, and as things are calming down, many of us are worried about the toxic burden left in the environment. One thing we don't think about is that the fire retardant has a lot of toxic chemicals, as the study shows that chemicals such as cadmium, aluminum and iron and lead are in the environment from the flame retardant. So it's important to make sure that you are cleaning your vegetables and fruit at this time, making sure that you have a reverse osmosis water filter, wearing a mask when for prolonged period of times, and make sure that you're taking supplements or eating lots of fruits and vegetables that increase your antioxidant levels. Stay safe. Fell in.
