May 2, 2023 / 6:56 AM PDT / CNN Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are liquids or solids used in consumer products that turn into gas when exposed to air and sunlight. Some VOCs have been linked to asthma, cancer and reproductive and developmental harm…
The findings lay the groundwork for scientists to investigate whether these molecular changes persist in human tissues, contribute to disease later in life, and could yield biomarkers to help assess breast cancer risk. If these results are validated by additional…

At Unilever we are committed to advancing NGRA by integrating cutting-edge modelling approaches that allow us to ensure human and environmental safety, without animal testing. Our SERS Computational Science capability focuses on delivering human and environmental solutions that enable safety…
Scientists have linked the particles to health risks but did not know how they were causing that harm. A new study offers an answer that challenges long-held assumptions about plastics. Over the past decade, scientists have found microplastics in nearly…
“We’ve built an entire health industry around optimizing our steps and sleep while largely ignoring what our bodies are exposed to, and ROSE is here to change that by making those exposures visible and actionable,” said Eli Bronner, Co-Founder and…
Tiny particles of polyethylene, one of the world’s most widely used plastics, disrupted liver health in experiments with mice. The effects were more pronounced when exposure was combined with a diet rich in fat, the sugar fructose, and cholesterol, suggesting…
Marine microplastic pollution is associated with higher rates of several cancers in U.S. coastal counties, according to University of Hawaiʻi research. The study was senior-authored by Shiwen “Sherlock” Li, assistant professor and Chin Sik and Hyun Sook Chung Endowed Chair in…
