The scientific community has long believed that polymers are too big to migrate out of products and into people, meaning they ...

A new study reveals that polymers, once thought to be harmless due to their large size, may degrade into toxic chemicals over time.

As a result, polymers have largely evaded regulation. For example, polymers are exempt from the major toxics acts: Toxic Substances Control Act in the U.S. and REACH in the E.U. However ...

New research shows that flame retardant polymers can break down into toxic chemicals, raising concerns about their ...

Regulation of toxic substances has long exempted synthetic chemicals made of large molecules believed too big to escape products to cause harm. A new study shows how dangerous that assumption is.

Addressing the harmful chemical processes that accompany blunt force trauma to the brain can reduce the risk of long-term disability.
