Investigating The Public Health Impacts Of Everyday Items | Shreya Vohora | Tedxswansea Women

NOTE FROM TED: While many pollutants discussed in this talk have been identified as public health and safety concerns, causal relationships described between specific household products and health conditions currently lack scientific support. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of consumer products, physiology, disease, and mortality. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf

We think of home as safe, but hidden forces in our environment. Things no one is talking about are quietly sabotaging our health. In this talk, Shreya reveals the overlooked hazards lurking in our everyday spaces and how we can turn our homes from harmful to healing.

Shreya Vohora is a business leader and tech founder on a mission to transform how we live, shop, and heal, starting with the spaces that surround us. As Co-CEO of Interiors With Art, she leads a multi-disciplinary team designing high-end homes that subtly optimise health, drawing on building biology, bio philia, psychology, and environmental science.
After facing health struggles linked to everyday toxins, Shreya co-founded RightShop, an AI-powered wellness platform that makes it radically simpler to find safe, personalised products that work with your body, not against it.
Her work sits at the intersection of science, design, technology, and daily life. With both professional focus and a personal stake in the invisible forces shaping wellbeing, she helps people build lifestyles and environments that heal—while exposing the hidden factors that silently sabotage health. Her TEDx talk reveals one of the biggest, most overlooked culprits: the hazards hiding in our homes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
