Question from Emily
I have a strange request and since you of all people are very knowledgeable on the subject, I thought I would go straight to the source.
I am looking for scientific and medical sources to use for a college english class project regarding the environmental and health effects of using disposable feminine hygiene products. I get to “solve” the issue by introducing alternatives and tell why they’re so great, but I need the hard facts on the issue. I’ve mentioned to my professor specifically the manufacturing (bleaching, etc.) and the landfill/ocean issues. He has told me I need at least 10 reliable sources to use. I know this isn’t the usual request, but if anyone can direct me to these sources, that would be wonderful. Thank you for helping this poor college student out.
Debra’s Answer
Well, Emily, I spend my time collecting the alternatives, so I would have to do the same leg work you would have to do to collect the studies.
But if anyone out there has some recommendations, let’s have them!
