New EDC Science

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.

A study of 1,301 European mother-child pairs found prenatal exposure to PFAS and chemical mixtures was linked to higher BMI and body fat through age 15.

Paper raises questions about safety of food and other products as early onset breast cancer rates surge worldwide.

New research indicates that trifluoroacetic acid can interfere with how endothelial cells produce energy, which they need to maintain and grow new blood vessels.

Microplastics have turned up in yet another staple of the global diet, and this time the evidence comes with unusually rigorous analytical backup.

Hundreds of potential breast carcinogens taint everyday consumer products, food, drinking water, medicines, building materials, and pesticides, scientists reported.

For decades, carpet and chemical manufacturing plants in north Georgia discharged industrial wastewater containing PFAS into the Oostanaula and Conasauga river basins.

Hundreds of chemicals commonly used in pesticide products could be increasing the risk of breast cancer. This includes active ingredients, but also inactive ones that do not receive the same level of testing.

Soil and water around military bases show elevated levels of PFAS pollution due to chemicals used in firefighting foam.

A nationwide analysis published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that 44% of U.S. schools (pre-K through grade 12) are located within one mile of a known hazardous site.

Scientists are issuing urgent warnings about the invisible threat of microplastics and toxic chemicals secretly polluting our homes, organs, and even unborn babies.

A recent study published in Environment International found that the use of scented products like incense, oil diffusers, and candles significantly raises air pollution levels indoors.

UC Riverside environmental engineers have identified key chemical reactions that occur when ultraviolet light is used to destroy “forever chemical” pollutants in water, providing a roadmap for developing more effective cleanup technologies.

Microplastics have become one of the most pervasive signs of the industrial age, turning up in the deepest ocean trenches, on alpine peaks, in the food we eat and the air we breathe.

Bald eagles are helping scientists uncover where per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, contamination may be coming from across Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region.

A new study has revealed a striking difference between people with lung cancer and those without the disease.

An analysis of the chemical content of personal care and cleaning products published in Environment and Health found that 98% of the products contained unlabeled chemicals, and over a quarter contained chemicals that directly contradicted label claims. In short:

A study of 3,339 U.S. families found no link between typical organophosphate pesticide exposure during pregnancy and autism-related traits.

Microplastics are everywhere, including our clothes, our food, our water, and even our reproductive systems.

Microplastics are everywhere, in the environment and the human body. But as public concern about possible health effects grows, evidence of a cancer connection remains thin.
