Boys Exposed To Chemicals Are More Girly, Study Finds
The BBC has reported on a study found in the International Journal of Andrology:
Males exposed to high doses in the womb went on to be less likely to play with boys' toys like cars or to join in rough and tumble games, they found.
The University of Rochester team's latest work adds to concerns about the safety of phthalates, found in vinyl flooring and PVC shower curtains.
There has been a growing concern over the last few years about phthalates. DBP a specific type phthalate is banned in cosmetics, such as nail varnish in the EU since 2005.The use of the chemical is restricted in the U.S. and Canada has been monitoring the matter.
Again and again we see evidence that we are exposed to hazardous chemicals in various household products. Phthalates are found in almost all our products and are typically disguised under the heading “parfume”.
The Toronto Star also reported on the study.
