In the Oregon Pollution in People study, a diverse group of ten women and men volunteered to have their bodies tested in a study of chemical pollution in Oregonians. Every person tested had at least 9 and as many as 16 toxic chemicals in his or her body including PFCs, phthalates, mercury, pesticides, bisphenol A, and PCBs. While some of these toxic chemicals came from contaminated soil, air, and water, many of the pollutants also came from food, everyday household dust, and from direct contact with products such as personal care items, plastic products, consumer electronics, and stain-resistant furniture. The toxic chemicals in our bodies are cause for concern because they can lead to health problems and as this study demonstrates, we are all contaminated with these toxic chemicals. This presentation will discuss the chemicals tested for, health impacts linked to these toxins, and simple steps individuals can take to reduce exposure to these compounds.
