The latest study indicates a concerning link between personal care products and increased phthalate levels in children, with varying exposure across racial and ethnic groups.
Phthalates, known as endocrine disruptors, are prevalent in personal care products and have been associated with serious health risks for developing children, including brain impairment.
Research shows that phthalates might be contributing to earlier onset of menstruation in girls, reflecting broader concerns about childhood exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Despite the short retention in the body, the cumulative effects of phthalate exposure from personal care products pose ongoing risks, especially for developing children.
