CDC Issues Fourth Report on Body Burden of Toxic Chemicals

摘要

On December 10, 2009, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the Fourth National Report on Human Exposure to Environment Chemicals, which summarizes blood and urine levels for 212 chemicals, including levels for 75 chemicals which have never before been measured in a representative sample of the U.S. population. Triclosan, the antibacterial agent found in hundreds of consumer products ranging from antibacterial soaps, deodorants, toothpastes, cosmetics, fabrics, toys, and other household and personal care products, is included for the first time.
