Brominated flame retardants increase breast cancer risk |
Researchers stained the mammary glands of prepubertal female rats to observe their development.
Researchers stained the mammary glands of prepubertal female rats to observe their development.
Some flame retardants are considered endocrine disruptors, which interfere with the hormonal system.
Researchers say that this type of exposure may cause problems for the mammary glands because their development is highly regulated by hormones.
In their experiments, the research team exposed female rodents to a mixture of brominated flame retardants found in indoor dust before mating, during pregnancy, and during lactation.
In these studies, most of the effects were observed when subjects were exposed to the lowest dose, rather than to higher doses.
