What you should know about toxic chemicals in everyday products: Scientific studies show that many toxic chemicals are building up in our bodies, environment, and wildlife. Some have been linked to serious health problems like learning disabilities, immune dysfunction, hormone imbalances, reproductive problems, and cancer.

They can come from surprising sources - televisions, furniture, and other common household items, even toys. These chemicals escape from the products they're added to and wind up in our air, water, and food.
