The Consumer's Good Chemical Guide: A Jargon-Free Guide to the Chemicals of Everyday Life
- 1995 Aventis-General winner
- Score: 10.45
This guide exposes the misinformation and disinformation that surrounds many of the controversial chemicals in every-day life. It uses non-technical language to explain the science behind the chemicals which are claimed to be dangerous, polluting or unhealthy, and argues that many are far less dangerous than shock-horror newspaper headlines would have us believe.
