New EDC Science

An article published in Nature Medicine highlights the ubiquitous presence of synthetic chemicals in the global food supply and emphasizes the need to transition to a safer, more sustainable food system. “Public health should be a priority for policymakers, and the importance of mitigating chemical exposures is still underappreciated.”

Researchers warn of ‘major crisis in male reproductive health’ partly driven by obesity and diabetes.

Babies exposed to higher levels of neurotoxin more likely to have difficulty controlling impulses later, research shows.

Harmful nitrogen dioxide and ozone levels could affect fertility and pregnancies.

Researchers from the University of Notre Dame have developed the most comprehensive look yet at how PFAS moves through the food web in the Great Lakes.

In healthy models, microplastics did not trigger inflammation on their own. However, in those with pre-existing digestive irritation, the plastic exposure made the condition worse.

The study used more than 40 years of data to map fluctuating PFAS levels across species in the region’s food chain.

New study on fluazinam’s neurotoxicity comes up with different findings from an earlier report based on manufacturer’s data.

University of Notre Dame researchers analyzed nearly 2,500 samples of living organisms and found patterns in the concentration of “forever chemicals” across the Great Lakes region.

A world-first study has confirmed our greatest fears about an insidious class of toxins: they have accumulated so deeply in the environment that marine animals are now being born contaminated.

New analytical procedures swiftly reveal the particles that fluoropolymers shed.

Recent research conducted in Tianjin, China, provides compelling evidence on how non-dietary indoor exposure pathways significantly contribute to the total phthalate intake in children.

A recent review published in Current Environmental Health Reports found that two types of chemical hair straighteners – relaxers and keratin treatments – each contain multiple classes of known toxic chemicals.

Male rats exposed to the widely used plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) during early development exhibited increased anxiety behavior as adults, according to a study presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Chicago.

In January 2025, the Trump administration began shutting down projects within the EPA’s independent science division that touched on climate change and environmental justice.

Women with higher blood levels of PFAS or “forever chemicals” may be more likely to have multiple sclerosis, according to a new study.

A study of mothers in Seattle underscores the ‘widespread, systemic problem’ of chemical contamination, experts say.

Forty years of studies find higher cancer risks among children exposed during pregnancy and early life to pesticides used on farms, lawns, and pets.

A new study found that mothers who were more exposed to certain “forever chemicals” like PFAS were more likely to have a daughter with PMOS in her teen years later on.

A sweeping review of nearly 300 studies finds the pesticide chlorpyrifos damages the brain, hormones, DNA, and the liver, even at “safe” exposure levels.
