The combined action of pollutants can increase the risk of toxic effects. At the same time, a growing occurrence of cardiovascular diseases has

The human-made chemicals that make our kitchen pans stick-free, our athletic wear water-repellent and firefighting chemicals more efficient do their jobs incredibly well, but it’s at the expense of lingering in the body and environment for what is believed to be forever. These forever chemicals, perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid, more commonly known as PFOS

Pollutants in the sea water and endanger human and animal The increasing pollution of power to our seas not Stop. A recent report suggests that metals and a mixture of dangerous chemicals that poison difficult the seas of Europe, where more than three-quarters of the studied areas are already contaminated.

How endocrine disruptors affect our hormone balance In a large EU-research project studied a group of chemicals that are suspected to influence the metabolism of the person is negative. There are numerous indications that so-called endocrine disruptors weight gain as well as metabolic disorders such as fatty liver, high blood promote fat levels, and Diabetes.

Advanced algorithms working from large chemical databases can predict a new chemical’s toxicity better than standard animal tests, suggests a study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The researchers, in the study that appears in the journal Toxicological Sciences on July 11, mined a large database of known chemicals they
