What are the dangers of toxic chemicals in everyday life?

Chemicals are everywhere in our daily lives. These endocrine disruptors “disrupt the entire hormonal system” and “create chronic inflammation”, indicates the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present, Tuesday April 26, on the set of 19/20. They are partly responsible for so-called cancers “hormone-dependent” such as breast, prostate or thyroid cancers, but also play an important role in the development of obesity, diabetes, and possibly even infertility.

While waiting for a potential ban by 2030, Damien Mascret gives some advice. For pregnant women, it is better to avoid nail polish, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy, and to wear new clothes without having washed them beforehand. Children’s toys made of natural materials should, if possible, be privileged. The doctor then recommends checking the standards: the “NF” sign ensures ecological quality. Finally, it is better not to heat food plastics. Before reheating a dish prepared in the microwave, it is best to first pour it into a glass or ceramic container.
