More than 400 everyday plastic-related chemicals linked to breast cancer contribute to elevated cancer rates in young women, underscoring the need for regulatory reform.
Rudel highlights that over 16,000 chemicals are present in plastics, many hazardous to human health, emphasizing a need for targeted regulation of harmful substances.
Women are diagnosed with cancer at double the rate of men before age 50, and plastic chemical exposures likely contribute significantly to this troubling trend.
The study identifies 414 harmful chemicals in plastics that are known to either cause mammary tumors, affect hormones, or are genotoxic, necessitating urgent attention.
