ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS: SOURCES

Text

Endocrine disrupting chemicals can be found in everyday household items, including cosmetics, food packaging, toys, carpet, and pesticides. Moreover,  chemicals that act as flame retardants could also be endocrine disruptors. Contact with endocrine disrupting chemicals could occur through the air, diet, skin, and water. Although these specific types of chemicals cannot be avoided or removed completely, individuals can make informed choices to reduce their chances of exposure.
