This critical book review summarizes and evaluates the non-fiction book "Slow Death by Rubber Duck: How the Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Life Affects Our Health" by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie. The book examines how everyday chemicals used in common products threaten human health. The authors conduct experiments where they intensify their exposure to chemicals and test the effects in their blood and urine. However, the experiments produce inconsistent results. While the book effectively describes how the chemical industry lobbies to protect harmful products, the rushed nature of the experiments weakens the credibility of the overall arguments.
