Household Toxins May Affect Reproduction January 26, 2002 - 1:16 AM by Dr. Gary Farr | Category:
The Reproductive System |
The Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility are voicing concerns about the potential effects of accumulated household toxins on human reproductive health. A number of chemicals are thought to affect the reproductive system, and very little research has been done on interactions. Chemicals used in flea collars, pesticides, dry cleaning, and a variety of cleaning and construction chemicals are thought to cause problems ranging from menstrual disorders and lowered sperm counts to spontaneous abortion. They have published a report expressing their concerns, Generations At Risk, co-authored by the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group.12
