Science: • LaHn “scienHa” = knowledge • “a system of acquiring knowledge” • “knowledge as disHnguished from ignorance or
misunderstanding” • “knowledge covering general truths… as obtained
and tested through the scienHfic method”
Pseudo: • “being apparent rather than actual” • “false; decepHve; sham”
Pseudo-‐Science: • “false or decepHve knowledge that creates misunderstanding and leads to decepHve conclusions”
• “Strikes educated, raHonal people as too nonsensical and preposterous to be dangerous… unfortunately can be extremely dangerous… penetraHng poliHcal systems… educaHonal systems… the field of health… [and] the communicaHon media” (Cokes, 2011)

Paracelsus – The Father of Toxicology
“Alle Ding sind Gi2, und nichts ohn Gi2, allein die Dosis macht, das ein Ding kein Gi2 ist”
The Dose Makes the Poison
(1493-‐1541)
All things are poisons, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous
“Substances considered toxic are harmless in small does, and conversely, an ordinarily harmless substance can be deadly if over-‐consumed”
“’Poisons’ were not necessarily something negaHve…poisons could have beneficial medical effects”

Science, or Pseudo-‐Science, in Chemical and Product Assessments
Chemical Mispercep5ons Cause Anxiety When Needn't Be, and Complacency When Shouldn’t Be
Science Pseudo-‐Science
• Risk = Hazard x Exposure
• Hazard or Regulatory List Decisions • Dose-‐ Response Effects! Exposures with NOAELs
• Exposure Is MulH-‐Factorial -‐ Determines the Dose
• Exposure ConsideraHons Cannot Be Trusted
• Usage / FuncHonality / Lifecycle Stage Impacts Concerns
• Not Worthy ConsideraHons • UHlized For Drug, PesHcide, Food Assessments
• Not Applicable to Other Consumer Products
• Appropriate ApplicaHon Assures Safety • Disconnects Reality and PercepHons
• Assumes NOAELs Do Not Exist

The DisconnecHon Between Chemical Science and Pseudo-‐Scienceᵅ
Pseudo-‐Science Science
ᵅ From: Making Sense of Chemical Stories, Sense About Science, 2014.
• Chemicals Can Be Avoided
• Everything Is Made of Chemicals
• Chemicals Should be Eliminated
• Nothing Can Be= “Chemical Free”
• Chemicals Cause Only Harm to Health and Damage to the Environment
• Chemicals Can Improve Health and the Environment
• SyntheHc Chemicals Are Worse Than “Natural”
• SyntheHc Chemicals O[en Much Safer
CCS
Chemical Pseudo-‐Science MisconcepHons ᵅ
1. You Can Lead a Chemical-‐Free Life • Everything is made of chemicals • No alternaHves to chemicals, just choices of which to use & how they are made
3. SyntheHc Chemicals Are Causing Diseases
• Presence ≠ CausaHon • Dose-‐ response & usage constraints impact effects
5. Beneficial to Avoid Man-‐Made Chemicals • SyntheHc chemicals offer benefits to society • NutriHon, health, environment
• “SyntheHc,” arHficial, “man-‐made” ≠ damaging; natural ≠ safer • Increasing societal demand: contracepHves, mouthwash, cell phones, computers
4. Human Exposure to a cocktail of chemicals is a Hcking Hme-‐bomb
• Nature is a “cocktail of chemicals;” our bodies designed to detox cocktails • Chemical detecHon ≠ toxic effects
6. People are Subjects in an Uncontrolled, Unregulated Experiment
• ExisHng, hierarchical regulatory system • Legal liability, avoidance moHvaHon
ᵅ From: Making Sense of Chemical Stories, Sense About Science, 2014.

• Ecological, Health and Safety Risks Can Be Evaluated Independently, or CollecHvely • QuanHtaHve Hazard and Exposure Factors Have Been Merged
