Study Reveals Health Risks of Fire Retardants in Household Products
A recent study reveals alarming health risks associated with polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), commonly found in household items like couches and car seats. These fire retardants may disrupt hormones and lead to developmental issues in children. Research suggests that probiotics, particularly Limosilactobacillus reuteri, may help mitigate these effects. As awareness grows, consumers are encouraged to prioritize non-toxic products and consider dietary changes to improve health and safety.
Study Reveals Skin Absorption of Toxic Flame Retardants in Microplastics
Recent research has revealed the potential health risks associated with toxic flame retardants found in everyday items like plastics and electronics. The study showed that sweatier skin absorbs more cancer-causing chemicals known as PBDEs when in contact with microplastics, highlighting skin absorption as a concerning route for human exposure. This evidence underscores the need for regulators to address the risks of these substances, which have been linked to cancer and endocrine disruption.
