Scientists from EWG and Duke University just released a groundbreaking study that found a biomarker of the cancer-causing fire retardant TDCIPP in the bodies of all 22 mothers and 26 children tested. Compared to their mothers, the children exhibited on average nearly five times the level of this biomarker. In the most extreme case, a child had 23 times the level measured in the mother. The frightening reality is that many of us are unknowingly exposing ourselves and our families to toxic chemicals in everyday home goods. TDCIPP and/or other hazardous fire retardants are commonly found in furniture nap mats changing table pad nursing pillows and other consumer products. Ken Cook President, Environmental Working Group
