Living Downstream
As part of the Advancing Healthy Homes/Healthy Communities Initiative at Loyola University Chicago, a short film series has begun in association with the Center for the Human Rights of Children, the Center of Urban Research and Learning, the Office of Sustainability, and the Student Environmental Alliance. The goal of the film series is simple, but significant: to raise awareness on emerging environmental toxins or hazards, effective interventions, challenges, and practices, engaging University and local communities, and ultimately advancing the notion of healthier homes, communities, and environments.
Living Downstream (www.livingdownstream.com) focuses on the two pervasive chemicals: atrazine, one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, and the industrial compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Not only does the film focus its attention on the environmental and health risks of these toxins, but also brings attention to the urgent human rights issue that the entire US population faces, especially those most vulnerable to these toxins.
