Endocrine disruptor and toddlers ingest more contaminated house dust than the adults they live with, and therefore have much higher levels of pollutants in their systems. Consumer goods are another potential source of exposure to endocrine disruptors.

The products contained 55 different chemical compounds: 50 were found in the 42 conventional samples representing 170 product types, while 41 were detected in 43 "chemical free" samples representing 39 product types. Parabens, a class of chemicals that has been associated with reproductive-tract issues,
