M3.1: Biomonitoring
I would be shocked and scared for my health. I would want to know how I was exposed to all of the chemicals that I was tested positive with and eliminate/reduce exposure to them. I'm curious and concerned after watching the video because I have lived long term in many countries such as China (for 8 years) and Japan (for 4 years), as well as long stays in Botswana and Taiwan. I know I have been heavily exposed to second-hand smoke because my dad smokes and it's normal to smoke everywhere in China (i.e. inside restaurants). The potential health effects are scary and I'm concerned for my parents who have lived in China for much longer and could potentially have more harmful chemicals in their body.

SO cool that you've gotten to travel to and live in these amazing places. I would be interested to see what the exposures were from your stay in Botswana, as Anderson Cooper mentioned his DDT exposure may have been from the malaria pesticide they use in Africa. My mom's mother smoked in the house, and in the car when her and her kids were inside, so I can sympathize with the secondhand smoke concern.
