SUMMARY:Breaking: New Study Links Plastic Chemicals to Preterm Birth and Infant Death
DESCRIPTION:How can two widely-used chemicals found in our daily products–they make plastic flexible–possibly lead to millions of preterm births and thousands of infant deaths? A new study links two specific phthalates\, plastic additives known to interfere with hormone production\, to both terrifying outcomes. Specifically\, they were associated with nearly 2 million premature births and the deaths of 74\,000 newborns worldwide in 2018. And they’re still in our household products—cosmetics\, detergents\, even bug repellants—today. \nTo make sense of these upsetting new findings\, Moms’ Co-Founder and Director Dominique Browning will be in live conversation on Monday\, April 6\, at 10:30 AM ET with the study’s senior author—and Moms’ go-to expert on all things plastic\, hormones\, and children’s health—Dr. Leonardo Trasande\, MD\, MPP\, the Jim G. Hendrick\, MD\, Professor of Pediatrics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. \nLearn more and register here. \nTune in to find out why these chemicals are in our homes\, how they can create so much harm and still be allowed in our homes\, and what actions families can take to both protect our children and advocate for possible regulations and legislation.
