Environ Sci Technol
A study of 751 reproductive-aged Black women found that the relationship between personal care product (PCP) use and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) varied significantly by socioeconomic status (SES), with different patterns of chemical exposure from the same products depending on women’s education, income, and employment. For example, vaginal powder use was associated with higher phenol exposure (a class of EDCs) among lower SES women but showed no such association in higher SES women, suggesting that product formulations, brands, or usage patterns may differ across SES groups. These findings highlight that Black women face inequitable EDC exposures that are influenced by both race and socioeconomic factors, underscoring the need for targeted public health interventions that address these intersecting disparities in chemical exposures from everyday products

Environ Health Perspect
This study analyzed 213 everyday products, including cosmetics, cleaners, and personal care items, for endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and asthma-related compounds. Testing revealed 55 chemicals, with fragranced products and sunscreens containing the highest levels. Vinyl products were also found to contain significant amounts of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a known EDC. Many harmful chemicals were not listed on product labels, limiting consumer ability to avoid them. These results highlight the presence of potentially harmful chemicals in commonly used products, raising concerns about their widespread use in household and personal care items.
