New EDC Science

In preliminary research, people with prediabetes who used a HEPA air purifier overnight for a month experienced modest improvements in blood sugar stability.

A population-based study in Georgia found that higher fine particulate matter exposure was associated with increased odds of triple-negative breast cancer.

Women who have greater levels of two specific “forever chemicals” found in drinking water in their blood could be at a higher risk of developing aggressive breast cancer, a new study warns.

An article published in Environment International describes a new, more accurate methodology for estimating pesticide use in tropical countries.

A pesticide used for decades in agriculture may be linked to a much greater risk of Parkinson’s disease, and scientists have uncovered a possible explanation for how it damages the brain.

The government is launching the first study to measure PFAS in the UK population to understand the risks.

Exposure to di(isononyl) cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH), a chemical additive commonly used in soft plastics like food packaging, is linked to adverse birth outcomes, according to a large U.S. study published in Environment International. In short:

For decades, scientists believed that plastics were some of the safest materials around. Now it’s clear how flawed that view was.

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.

Higher exposure to common neonicotinoid insecticides was associated with lower sperm quality in men, according to a new study.

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.

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.
