A list of indoor dangers
Our work has included measuring and evaluating exposure to a variety of hazardous substances found in homes, such as:
genes that resist antibiotics (genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics)
Chemicals that disinfect the environment at home
microplastics
Due to their propensity to persist in the body and not degrade, perfluorinated chemicals, also known as PFAS or "forever chemicals," are widely used in a variety of industrial, domestic, and food packaging products
radioactive substances
Our work has placed a significant emphasis on determining the concentrations of potentially toxic metals (like arsenic, cadmium, and lead) in homes across 35 countries.
