Low doses, big effects: Scientists seek 'fundamental changes' in testing, regulation of hormone-like chemicals — Environmental Health News
environmentalhealthnews.org — “Small doses can have big health effects. That is a main finding of a new report, three years in the making, published Wednesday by a team of 12 scientists who study hormone-altering chemicals. Dozens of substances that can mimic or block hormones are found in the environment, the food supply and consumer products, including plastics, pesticides and cosmetics. One of the biggest controversies is whether the tiny doses that most people are exposed to are harmful. Researchers led by Tufts Universit” View full resource at environmentalhealthnews.org

Industrial chemicals linked to attention problems in Massachusetts children — Environmental Health News
environmentalhealthnews.org — “When Deidre Ramos moved with her infant son to the Parker Street section of New Bedford, Mass., little did she know that her new neighborhood was toxic. Today, a decade later, Ramos is worried about her two sons growing up in a community still contaminated by an old burn dump containing polychlorinated biphenyls. “What will be the long-term effects on my children?” asked Ramos. Now new research suggests that PCBs, which were first linked to learning problems in children more than two decades ago” View full resource at environmentalhealthnews.org

Hearts and air pollution: Five deadly air pollutants on five continents — Environmental Health News
environmentalhealthnews.org — “Around the world, breathing a variety of air pollutants – in some cases for a single day – increases the chance that people will suffer heart attacks, according to a new analysis published Tuesday. For the first time, scientists analyzed previous studies from five continents to verify and quantify the links between air pollution and heart health. They found that short-term exposure – less than seven days – to all major air pollutants except ozone was associated with an increase in heart attacks.” View full resource at environmentalhealthnews.org

Brominated battle: Soda chemical has cloudy health history — Environmental Health News
environmentalhealthnews.org — “Patented as a flame retardant for plastics, and banned in food throughout Europe and Japan, a brominated chemical called BVO has been added to sodas for decades in North America. Now some scientists have a renewed interest in this little-known ingredient, found in 10 percent of sodas in the United States. Research on its toxicity dates back to the 1970s, and some experts now urge a reassessment. After a few extreme soda binges – not too far from what many video gamers regularly consume – a few p” View full resource at environmentalhealthnews.org
