New research suggests BPA exposure leads to poor lung function in children
Prenatal exposure to the industrial chemical bisphenol A (BPA) may lead to poor lung function in children, according to a recent study presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress held in Madrid. Researchers from Spain examined pregnant women’s phenol exposure and found that many of them had detectable BPA levels in their urine. Children born to women with higher BPA levels had […]

Chemical reaction between pipe alloy and water disinfectants produce cancer-causing chromium in drinking water
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside have found that pipe alloy can react with residual water disinfectants to produce cancer-causing chromium that gets mixed in drinking water. In a study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, the researchers said that chemical reactions can change chromium in water pipes into a form that creates genetic mutations in cells. […]

Scientists develop an electrochemical process that removes toxic mercury from contaminated water
Researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden developed a method that can remove nearly 100 percent of toxic mercury from contaminated water. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that the electrochemical process works by encouraging mercury ions to form an alloy with another metal. This effectively draws the heavy metal out […]

Researchers rig a building with a thousand sensors to find out how chemicals from self-care products increase indoor and outdoor pollution in offices
The mere presence of a person in the office may be contributing to air pollution indoors and outdoors, suggested a recent study presented at the American Association for Aerosol Research Conference in Oregon. A group of researchers planted sensors in the Living Labs office spaces at Purdue University and found that people could significantly impact the air quality indoors through […]

A dose of toxic synthetic chemicals: Researchers detect “forever chemicals” in California’s drinking water
Drinking water sources serving 7.5 million Californians are contaminated with toxic synthetic chemicals, according to a study from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization specializing in environmental research. These chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS, are commonly called “forever chemicals,” as they are extremely resistant to degradation once they get released to the environment. Low […]

Consumption of fluoridated water found to have adverse effects on kidney and liver health in children
Repeated exposure to low levels of fluoride may be toxic to the kidneys and liver of children, found a study published in the journal Environment International. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai examined how fluoride levels in water and blood may relate to renal and liver health. They found that small levels […]

Premium teas in “silken” tea bags contain MICROPLASTICS, warn researchers
Silken tea bags can release billions of microplastic particles into a single cup of tea, according to a study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. These premium tea bags often come in pyramid shapes and are partially made of plastic. When hot water is poured, it sheds tiny plastic particles that mix with tea, said researchers from McGill […]

An unlikely threat to oceans: Delicate wash cycles on washing machines release tons of microplastic fibers into waterways
The delicate wash cycle in washing machines may not be so delicate after all: Recent research found that delicate wash cycles shed more microfibers than ordinary spin cycles. Researchers from Newcastle University partnered with Proctor & Gamble to test the effects of various variables such as temperature and water volume on microfiber shedding. They found that the greater […]

On-the-job exposure to high levels of pesticide increases heart disease and stroke risk
Scientists have known for a long time that pesticides are harmful to human health. Previous research links pesticide exposure to cancer, respiratory problems and birth defects. A recent study is one of the latest to probe the toxic effects of pesticide exposure. Researchers from the University of Hawai?i at M?noa looked at middle-aged men of Japanese descent […]
