Etter forbudet mot PFAS har regnjakkene blitt mye mindre regntette.

Mounting evidence suggests fluoride may be hampering brain development and reducing kids' IQ. The US needs to rethink this exposure for pregnant women and children.

As you’re pulling out pots and pans to cook Thanksgiving dinner this weekend, some culinary experts are warning Canadians about the pitfalls of a common, convenient tool you might be turning to: non-s...

Chemical pollution may change animal and human behaviour, yet industry toxicologists avoid behavioural tests, leaving key environmental risks unknown.

Most scientists say chemical pollution harms humans and wildlife, yet industry toxicologists resist behavioural testing despite evidence linking pollutants to neurological disorders, urging faster ado...

Most environmental scientists believe that chemical pollution can and is negatively affecting people and wildlife, according to my team’s recent survey. We surveyed 166 environmental scientists across academia, government and industry and found that industry scientists working in environmental toxicology...

A recent survey of environmental toxicologists has revealed that they believe that chemical pollution can and is affecting the health of humans and wildlife.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis will empower people to monitor their own tap water with a project funded through the National Science Foundation.

For the last 30 years or so, well-intentioned toxicologists and environmental scientists have been expressing serious concerns about the harmful effects of chemical pollution on frogs. At the start of his career, environmental scientist Max Lambert wanted to be part of this effort. “It just so happened,” he told us, “that the chemicals was looking at … were related to sexual development.” Lambert did not set out to become a frog sex scientist, but toxicological methods led him there nonetheless. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, toxicological research tended to report “sex-reversed” (males who had become females) and “intersex” frogs (individuals with egg-producing cells in their testes, for example) in highly polluted environments, whether simulated in laboratory experiments or found in the wild.

President Trump announced that his administration has concluded that some cases of autism may be linked to use of Tylenol during pregnancy
