  1. “”Our results suggest that greater maternal exposure to tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl phosphate) (TDCIPP, parent compound of BDCIPP) and, to a lesser degree, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP, parent compound of DPHP) during pregnancy is associated with adverse behavioral development in children.”

  2. I’m so glad I advocated for the removal of plugins at my dog training facility… where they also board dogs and cats.

    • I am so glad you did too! And that they did the right thing and removed them instead of dismissing your concerns.

      Thank you!

      Far too many veterinarians and other animal care givers use the plug-ins, scented candles, or other harmful scents.
      So do human health care providers.

      It’s as if they are addicted and don’t want to give them up…

  3. “Called aromatic amines, the chemicals—found in tobacco smoke and in dyes used in cosmetics, textiles, and plastics—are known to cause cancer.

    “Our findings suggest that pets are coming into contact with aromatic amines that leach from products in their household environment,” says study lead author Sridhar Chinthakindi, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at NYU Langone Health. “As these substances have been tied to bladder, colorectal, and other forms of cancer, our results may help explain why so many dogs and cats develop such diseases.”

    The study authors’ previous investigations have measured other hormone-disrupting chemicals, including phthalates, melamine, and bisphenols in pet urine. However, the new study, published online March 30 in the journal Environment International, is the first designed to explore pet exposure to aromatic amines in the household, according to Chinthakindi.”
