BOSTON -- Cindy Luppi, co-director of the environmental group Clean Water Action, said there are potential risks lurking in every home."

Consumers really don't have a good way of knowing exactly what chemicals they are being exposed to," Luppi said.Luppi's concerns start with chemicals in cleaners in our kitchens and continue to the items in our pantries.

"Many of the canned foods are lined with that white, ribbed material that often contains Bisphenol A, or BPA," Luppi said. "It's linked to a number of diseases, including breast cancer."

But canned goods are just the tip of the iceberg of potential risks in our homes, said Luppi.
