Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs)

Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are byproducts of trash incineration that have been associated with cancer.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals that can be created or accumulated during plastic incineration and recycling. Extebsuve exposure to some PAHs have been linked to tumor development and cardiovascular diseases.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were once used in a wide range of industrial products. Its environmental and health implications have led to the banning of its intentional creation.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is commonly utilized as a plasticizer in the manufacturing of plastic goods. It is an endocrine disrupter that has been shown to lead to premature puberty and pregnancy complications.

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is commonly used as a plasticizer in PVC products, however, DEHP easily leaches into the environment and to living organisms, raising concern about its potential impacts.

Bisphenol F (BPF)

Bisphenol F (BPF) is a common substitute for BPA, but has recently been scrutinized for its potential toxicity. BPF can often be found in adhesives, varnishes, water pipes, and other epoxy resin products.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD)

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) is a type of dioxin also known as Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War. TCDD is produced today as a byproduct of plastic incineration and paper bleaching.

Bisphenol S (BPS)

Bisphenol S (BPS) is used as a replacement for bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging. Little research has been done regarding the potential health risks of using BPS. The limited research available has shown slight negative health effects of consuming BPS.

Octylphenol (OP)

Octylphenol (OP) is used as an intermediate in resin and surfactant manufacturing. It is also an endocrine disruptor and can injure the male reproductive system.

Decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE)

Decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) is a brominated flame retardant commonly used in plastics, electronics, textiles, and building materials to reduce fire risks. It is also toxic to living organisms and persistent in the environment.

Bisphenol A (BPA)

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical used primarily in the production of plastics and epoxy resins. BPA is used in many consumer products such as food and beverage containers and medical devices. However, BPA acts as an endocrine disruptor and can interfere with hormonal systems in humans and wildlife.

Diethyl Phthalate (DEP)

Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is often used to increase the flexibility of plastics. DEP is easily released from these products, but there is no scientific evidence to demonstrate that the substance is harmful to humans.

Nonylphenol (NP)

Nonylphenol (NP) is a substance that has been identified as an environmental hormone. NP is typically used as a component of industrial cleaning agents.

Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)

Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a hydrophobic flame retardant often used in thermal insulation foams, textiles, and in fishing gear. HBCD can lead to numerous environmental and health issues such as endocrine illness, neuronal and cardiovascular changes, and is linked to DNA damage.
