Meet a lady who’s studied the nasty effects of a chemical called TRIS for years.

Now, for her second career, she’s testing furniture for potentially hazardous chemicals.

She has just received The Purpose Prize, an award given to social innovators who’re contributing in the second half of their lives.

"Most chemicals in commerce today have not been fully tested for their long term effects on humans and the environment. Under the current regulatory system, significant data gaps exist and the risks of many chemicals have been denied or ignored. The Green Science Policy Institute promotes safer products and processes to protect human health and the environment." - Green Science Policy Institute website
