Could those offspring — who were never exposed to PBB in the 1970s, and who were never exposed to even residual PBB while developing in the wombs of exposed mothers — nonetheless experience health impacts linked to the chemical?
It’s a question with profound implications.
“If you look at it through the lens of environmental justice, it changes the debate,” Marcus said..."
