EDC Science Weekly, June 2-8, 2021

Another NOTE: Last week I said I would reduce the number of articles, and some people were concerned about that. I won’t reduce them much! Mostly I will reduce the air pollution studies. For things like BPA, phthalates, parabens, PFAS, flame retardants, and POPs, I will keep including essentially all of them. If you have any topics you are particularly interested in, let me know! (There is a large and growing number of studies on microplastics, for example, is that of interest? I include some of them but certainly not all, but could include more or less depending on people’s interests. The Marine Pollution Bulletin publishes dozens of studies weekly on microplastics and other chemicals in various places around the world, and I’d rather not include all of them…). I’ll try to focus on endocrine disruption or endocrine disruptors in general. And if you know of any events, feel free to send them to me.
