EXCERPTS: A new analysis published in the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology on Tuesday found that a growing number of endocrine-disrupting household chemicals have been linked to widespread health problems, including infertility, diabetes, and impaired brain development. [...] In 2017, the United Nations published a list of 45 known chemicals that studies show disrupt hormones, including ones found in pesticides, the lining of aluminum cans, cosmetics, and electronics.

But [...] those groundbreaking studies included information about a group of chemicals that scientists understand far better now than they did then: PFAS. The group of chemicals collectively known as PFAS are used to give tons of household items ranging from nonstick pots and pans to food packaging. The chemicals are already a huge issue because they’re increasingly being found in some supplies of drinking water and they’re commonly called “forever” chemicals because they don’t breakdown. The new analysis shows that there’s ample evidence PFAS are endocrine disruptors.

[...] the authors call for the U.S. to overhaul its approach to regulating these chemicals. Trasande said it could look to the European Union, which has done a better job. Countries could establish an international program to identifies hazards. That way, the world can effectively regulate them before they hit the market. (MORE - details)
