A Toxic Affair: How the chemical lobby blocked action on hormone disrupting chemicals | Corporate Europe Observatory



 Exposed
– our new report "A Toxic Affair: How the chemical lobby blocked action
on hormone disrupting chemicals" shows how the chemicals lobby has
blocked EU action on endocrine (hormone) disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
The health costs of EDCs is estimated at €157bn in Europe alone and the
World Health Organisation has called these toxic chemicals a “global
threat” but a massive industry lobby campaign has successfully halted
any EU action to regulate them. Read about their tactics, including how
industry is using EU-US trade talks #TTIP as a weapon in this massive Brussels lobby battle.
