Un panorama de las sustancias quimicas presentes en medicos y enfermeros

PSR is thrilled to release the Spanish-language version of its report, "Hazardous Chemicals in Health Care." The report, written with the American Nurses Association and Health Care Without Harm (HCWH), details the first investigation of environmental chemicals found in the bodies of health care professionals. The study found that all 20 study participants had toxic chemicals in their bodies, with at least 24 individual chemicals present in each participant. We extend our thanks to HCWH/Latin American Regional Office for the translation.
