Disproportionate Exposures to Toxics: A Conversation with Environmental Justice Reporter Brian Bienkowski

Brian Bienkowski, reporter and editor at Environmental Health News and the Daily Climate discusses how vulnerable communities across America bear a disproportionate burden of contamination from endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). From Michigan to Alaska, Bienkowski has investigated environmental justice stories in which industrial and military pollution threatens the health and traditions of Native peoples. He has also reported on environmental health disparities among communities of color, low-income communities, and women and children, and has focused much of his reporting on investigating the scientific evidence of adverse health effects of exposure to EDCs such as bisphenol-A and PFAS.
