Toxic Fire Retardants Found in Women's Breast Milk

• Study urges chemical ban, but says breastfeeding is still best for baby and mom

23 SEPT 2003 | In the first nationwide tests for chemical fire retardants in the breast milk of American mothers, EWG found unexpectedly high levels of these little-known thyroid toxins in every woman tested. Milk from several of the mothers in EWG’s study had among the highest levels of these chemicals yet detected worldwide.

Like their long-banned chemical relatives PCBs, brominated fire retardants — used in hundreds of products including computers, TVs, cars and furniture — persist in the environment for decades and build up in people’s bodies over a lifetime. While dozens of earlier studies have linked chemical fire retardants to adverse health effects, EWG has conducted the first nationwide test for the presence of the chemicals in people.
