Flame Retardant Dilemma Symposium To Be Held at UC Berkeley on Feb. 14, 2014

The Green Science Policy Institute is hosting a symposium on what they’re calling “the flame retardant dilemma” on Feb. 14, 2014, at UC Berkeley, discussing the progress made in eliminating toxic flame retardants from our lives and how to strike a balance between that and fire safety.  Among the speakers will be scientists, government representatives, the President of the San Francisco Firefighters Cancer Prevention Foundation, and one of the directors and producers of the new documentary film Toxic Hot Seat. 

The symposium will last from 8:30am – 4:00pm.  Breakfast and lunch will be provided.  Visit the Green Science Policy Institute’s website for more details and to register.
