GENERATIONS AT RISK: How Environmental Toxins May Effect Reproductive Health in Massachusetts A Report by Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility (GBPSR) and the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) Education Fund Principal Authors: Ted Schettler, MD, MPH Gina Solomon, MD, MPH Paul Burns, JD Maria Valenti Executive Summary Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility (GBPSR) and the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) Education Fund have joined together to prepare the report Generations at Risk: How Environmental Toxins May Affect Reproductive Health in Massachusetts . This report brings together for the first time information about the reproductive health effects of selected chemical exposures with use and emissions data from Massachusetts. Major findings of the report include: Of the more than 70,000 synthetic chemicals in commercial use today, only a small fraction have been adequately examined for toxic effects in humans and other life forms; Despite limited scientific information, there is solid evidence of the reproductive toxicity of some substances in widespread commercial use including solvents, metals, and pesticides; newly-emerging evidence of the toxicity of others; and important new information about a mechanism of toxicity known but largely ignored for many years hormone (endocrine) disruption;

Home About CDC Press Room Funding ... Contact Us Search: Breastfeeding: Infectious Diseases and Specific Conditions Affecting Human Milk: Exposure to Environmental Toxins Do chemicals in the environment pass to infants through breast milk? While some women may have detectable levels of chemical agents in their breast milk, no established “normal” or “abnormal” levels exist to aide in clinical interpretation. As a result, breast milk is not routinely tested for environmental pollutants. Should women exposed to environmental toxins breastfeed? Breastfeeding is still recommended despite the presence of chemical toxins. The toxicity of chemicals may be most dangerous during the prenatal period and the initiation of breastfeeding. However, for the vast majority of women the benefits of breastfeeding appear to far outweigh the risks. To date, effects on the nursing infant have been seen only where the mother herself was clinically ill from an toxic exposure.

How to Avoid the Top 10 Most Common Toxins Environmental toxins are chemicals and other materials created largely from industry and carelessness. These chemicals have saturated our water, food and the very air we breathe. You can't see, feel, or smell many toxinsat least, not right away. We don't realize their affects until we come down with a chronic disease after years of exposure. chemicals are produced in North America Over chemicals added to our food supply Over 10,000: chemical solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives used in food processing new chemicals introduced each year The Effects of Toxins on Your Body A study by The British Medical Journal says that of most cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle factors. A report by the Columbia University School of Public Health estimates that of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity.

September 26, 2005 Study: Women Bear Brunt of Environmental Toxins Run Date: 10/21/03 By Rebecca Vesely WeNews correspondent A California study calls for further investigation into how environmental toxins affect women's health. It estimates the health care cost of U.S. women's environmentally associated diseases is $12.2 billion annually. SAN FRANCISCO (WOMENSENEWS)The push to link environmental safety to women's rights gained research footing last week with the release of a new report called Confronting Toxic Contamination in Our Communities: Women's Health and California's Future. Released by the Women's Foundation of California, a grant-making organization based in San Francisco, the report on contaminants and women's health focuses on how women's biology and role in society makes them bear the brunt of environmental toxins. Women often work closely with potentially toxic chemicals and preliminary research suggests that their physiology is more conducive to absorbing and carrying these chemicals, according to the report. Perhaps most notable about the report, however, is that it points out how little is known about how environmental toxins affect women. Data that takes gender and ethnicity into account is limited, for instance. Historically, women have not been the primary subjects of occupational studies. Of the gender-specific studies that have been done, most focus on reproductive health and newborns.

At the workshop "Basic Pathophysiology of Endometriosis" held in Washington in September 1991, a research paper was handed around that marked a surprising finding. It described a very high rate of endometriosis in rhesus monkeys that have been studied by the U.S. Air Force and National Aeronautics and Space Administration over many years to learn about the effects of radiation. The endometriosis developed spontaneously in 53 percent of the monkeys in the study group that received no radiation, the incidence of spontaneous endometriosis (endometriosis that developed on its own, not due to endometrium transplanted for research purposes) was 26 percent.

Q 1: How is global change affecting amphibian biodiversity? Since 1980, populations of hundreds of the world's estimated 5,100 amphibian species have been vanishing or declining in almost every part of the world, even in protected wildlife reserves and parks. In some locales, frog deformities (such as extra legs and missing legs), which usually lead to mortality, are occurring in unusually high numbers. Imagine you found deformed frogs in a pond on your property. Upon further investigation you discovered that over 30% of frogs in that pond have similar deformities. Your grandmother says she first began seeing deformed frogs a little over 10 years ago and has seen more and more as time goes by.

Environmental factors are now generally believed to be involved in the causation of nearly all cancers. Further, the World Health Organization has estimated that environmental factors constitute 25-33% of global disease burden. Accordingly, since the creation of organic/inorganic chemicals in the late 19th century, the global community has faced an exponential rise in the production and subsequent exposure to environmental chemicals. As a result, there has been a relative upsurge in the levels of human exposure to these toxic elements. While the concentrations of these chemicals generally remain below their no-observed-effects concentrations (NOECs) within the environment, researchers are discovering that the combination of such chemicals produces significant health hazards that are not generally seen with isolated concentrations of individual chemicals.

Understanding this language in the context of a discussion about environmental impacts can help you make decisions related to the issues of risk. This fact sheet identifies and defines commonly used words in risk communication. Environmental Health The human body, with its various systems and organs, is linked intricately to an individual's life habits, work, home, and the wider environment. Environmental threats to human health can affect specific organs or body systems. With some individuals, environmental threats can have a general affect that is difficult to ascribe to any specific context. Any possible toxic relationship between an environmental threat and human health is the focus of environmental risk assessment. A toxin is a chemical that potentially can cause harm inside the human body. Toxins enter the body in three ways: 1) through the skin (

Email this article to a friend Environmental Toxins and Nutrition Breaking News VRP Staff In a recently published review titled, Can nutrition affect chemical toxicity, a University of San Francisco researcher described the protective effects many vitamins and minerals have against toxic substances found in the environment. The review, published in the September-October issue of the International Journal of Toxicology, pointed out that the general population is exposed to numerous toxic substances from manufactured goods, air and water pollution. These toxins are normally found in many foods but the vitamins and minerals in the foods, the researcher wrote, can protect against these toxins, and the exposure to these vitamins and minerals can determine who does and who does not show symptoms following exposure to toxins. For example, selenium acts as a natural antagonist for mercury poisoning from contaminated fish. Zinc can protect against the cadmium found in some vegetables grown in cadmium contaminated soil. Vitamin C can inhibit the conversion of nitrites found in preserved meats (which are relatively harmless by themselves) into nitroamines (which have been linked to cancer.) In addition, the researcher noted, calcium can protect against lead and aluminum toxicity. Reference: Furst A. Can nutrition affect chemical toxicity? Int J Toxicol. 2002 Sep-Oct;21(5):419-24.

Mercury Chemical Action Plan Washington's PBT Strategy PBT Strategy Update - May 2005 Draft PBT Rule filed with the State Code Revisers Office on May 18, 2005 This rule making will adopt a new rule, Chapter 173-333 WAC – Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxins Regulation , that will establish Ecology’s process and procedures to address the subject of persistent bioaccumulative toxic substances. You can access a copy of the draft PBT Rule and additional information at Chapter 173-333 WAC - Current Rule Activity Proposed Strategy to Continually Reduce Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxins (PBTs) in Washington State , Ecology publication #00-03-054. Questions and answers about PBTs What are "persistent, bioaccumulative toxins" - PBTs? How can PBTs harm us? Why is mercury the state's first PBT priority for action? What else is being done about PBTs? ... Why not simply ban all PBT emissions and discharges outright? What are "persistent, bioaccumulative toxins" - PBTs? PBTs are both naturally occurring and man-made substances that build up in the food chain and can affect human health and reproduction. These toxins travel long distances in the atmosphere, move readily from land to air and water, and do not break down easily. The use of some persistent toxins, such as PCBs, has been banned for more than 30 years, although their presence remains in land and water across the globe. Good cleanup technologies don't yet exist for addressing PCB contamination in water. In the Puget Sound, for instance, PCBs in sediment build-up in orca whales and other marine life.
