Exposure to a trio of chemicals found in many everyday household and industrial items may have contributed to millions of cases of heart disease, stroke, and deaths over the years according to estimations of the health and economic impacts of common plastic additives.
An international team of researchers pooled findings from over 1,700 existing studies from 38 different countries investigating links between people’s exposure to the chemicals and certain health impacts. The researchers argue the results are concerning enough to warrant global action, but critics say we still need conclusive proof that these chemicals are the true cause.
