Environmental Pollutants Profile
Environmental toxins are everywhere!
"May not make you sick immediately yet worn you down gradually"*
Manmade chemicals can be found in our everyday lives, from food to things that we use daily. More than 10,000 chemicals have been reported as ingredients of cosmetic and food**. High dose of chemical usage that lead to acute reactions are monitored by the government. However; the health effect from chronic exposure to low dose is often neglected despite a growing body of literature.
These chemicals could disrupt our endocrine balance even in a trace amount. This is the reason why these chemicals are also called' Environmental hormone.***
