• Resumen

  • The article discusses concerns that exposure to chemicals from everyday objects can cause health problems for adults and fetuses. The author argues that chemicals in cups, moisturizers, and pesticides can interfere with endocrine systems, which regulate hormones. The Safe Chemicals Act of 2011, which would require chemical companies to test products for safety before they are marketed, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are examined.
