A new #NIEHSfunded study documents how Southern Californians are chronically being exposed to toxic airborne chemicals called plasticizers, including one that’s been banned from children’s items and beauty products. Plasticizers are chemical compounds that make materials more flexible. They are used in a wide variety of products ranging from lunchboxes and shower curtains to garden hoses and upholstery. “It’s not just for drinking straws and grocery bags,” said David Volz, environmental sciences professor at UC Riverside's College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) and one of the study’s authors.

👩👩👧 October is Children’s Health Month! NIEHS is committed to understanding how the environment affects children’s development and health. Children’s environmental health research funded by the institute focuses on preconception, prenatal, and childhood environmental exposures to certain chemicals, pollutants, nutrients, and activities. It addresses a broad range of issues. Many factors contribute to children’s health, and research areas often overlap. Determining what chemical exposures may harm children requires a variety of research approaches.
