A study by Southwest Research Institute and the EPA reveals that common household items, such as upholstery and fabrics, can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under certain conditions, posing potential health risks. Using advanced methods like machine learning and ToxCast data, researchers identified numerous chemical features and assessed their exposure risks. The study, published in Environmental Science & Technology, aims to advance exposomics and improve understanding of chemical exposure from consumer products.
A new study suggests that two chemicals commonly found in household products, quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) and organophosphate flame retardants, may be linked to the development of neurological disorders such as autism and multiple sclerosis. Quats, found in items like disinfectants and personal care products, were found to cause brain cell death, while organophosphate flame retardants, present in electronic devices and furniture, hindered the maturation of brain cells. The researchers hope their findings will lead to informed decisions regarding regulatory measures and behavioral interventions to minimize chemical exposure and protect human health.
