President’s Cancer Panel report, 2010
With nearly 80,000 chemicals on the market in the United States, many of which are used by millions of Americans in their daily lives and are un- or understudied and largely unregulated, exposure to potential environmental carcinogens is widespread.
The American public – even before they are born – are bombarded continually with myriad combinations of these dangerous exposures.
Research is needed on endocrine-disrupting chemicals in personal care products and cosmetics to improve our understanding of environmental cancer.

•Endocrine-disrupting chemicals in personal care products and cosmetics is an area where research is needed to improve our understanding of environmental cancer, said the Panel.
NEJM editorial, 2010
Out of 80,000 chemicals on the market, only 200 have been adequately tested for carcinogenicity.
Researchers should evaluate the effects of low-level exposures to combinations of potential carcinogens, as well as exposures that may begin in utero and extend through a lifetime.
We need stronger environmental laws and regulations to require premarketing safety testing and reduce industry influence on regulation.
