The human body is an organism formed by adding many organ systems together. Those organ systems are made of individual organs. Each organ contains tissues designed for specific functions like absorption and secretion. Tissues are made of cells that have joined together to perform those special functions. Each cell is then made of smaller components

In the book, Steingraber explains that investing in green energy will help prevent cancer, since synthetic chemicals linked to cancer come mostly from petroleum and coal. Saving the planet then becomes a matter of saving ourselves. The science in the text strengthens the case for banning poisons now pervasive in our air, our food, our water and our bodies. In this second edition of Living Downstream, Steingraber describes her experience of watchful waiting, the process of making a film adaptation
