New EDC Science

Exposure to common chemicals may alter how normal human breast tissue develops, according to a new study from researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and Boston University.

Researchers at the Silent Spring Institute and the University of California analyzed U.S. government databases for information on the production, sources, exposures, and regulations of environmental chemicals linked to breast cancer, and published their findings in Environmental Health Perspectives.

A study led by NYU Langone Health researchers adds to growing evidence that replacement chemicals can pose their own health risks.

A class of chemicals called phthalates is widespread in our lives, and there are growing concerns about what impact they’re having on our reproductive health.

A study of 1,234 Chinese ten-year-olds found microplastics in 91 percent of urine samples and linked certain polymers to behavioral problems.

These environmental chemicals are all around us: in our food and products and in the air and water. And they could be contributing to the obesity epidemic.

A Northeastern study links exposure to PFAS during pregnancy to hyper blood pressure, especially in first-time mothers.

A recent study published in Environment and Health found that young children are exposed to a wide range of pesticides during key periods of growth and development.
