Introduction
} Sipping alcoholic drinks is never a good
idea, but everyone has a choice to stayaway from hard drinks, for good.Unfortunately, there is no escape fromanother concoction-the chemicalcocktail.

Introduction(continuation)}Chemical cocktails refers to the
combination of man-made and naturalchemical substances that exist around us,
from the air we breathe to the commonthings we use, and even the foods weeat. Not all chemicals to which we areexposed to are harmful, but some ofthem mix together, they can became
dangerous to our health.

Chemical Cocktail}Chemical cocktails' refer to the combined
effects of chemicals that appear safe in
isolation but when absorbed togethermay carry health risks, such as decliningsperm counts, increased rates of cancerin adults and autism in children. Peopleand animals in their infancy are said to be
particularly vulnerable to the combinedeffects of chemicals.

Fact Bytes}Chemical cocktails refers to the
combination of chemical compounds
that exists in the environment.
} There are certain chemical compoundthat are not toxic, but when they were
combined together in the environmentand when absorbed by the human, theycan endanger health.

Fact Bytes(continuation)
} The European Union and the United Statesgovernment, sets guidelines in dealing
with chemicals and chemical cocktails toensure the safety of every living things.

1.0 Chemicals are Everywhere} The enclosed environment can be worse
in pollution than outdoor, and even thecleanest homes is not spared from
potentially dangerous substances.
} Plastic Objects, if you own a lot of this, itcan be a source of chemical
cocktails.(examples:Vinyl,Adhesives,plastic containers,etc.)

1.1continuation
} In Makeups, dry-cleaned clothes,medicines, and foods contribute tochemical cocktails which are being
absorbed by the body.
} Even animals and those at the wild arenot spared of this chemical cocktails they
could have their share from air, water and
soil. They where just like us they are alsobeing affected.

1.2 continuation
} The womb is not safe according to one studyin the United States, because a newbornbaby can already have 200 industrialchemicals in the body.
} At the University of Lancaster in UnitedKingdom,13 volunteers reported themselvesfor a chemical test, in which an average of30 chemicals was found in their bodies. Thechemicals identified were mainlycomponents of DDT(dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane).

**DDT(dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane)
} a synthetic chemical compound once usedwidely in the US and throughout the world as
a pesticide (a chemical substance used to killweeds, insects, rodents, or other pests).
} It is probably best known for its dual nature:although remarkably effective in destroyingcertain living things that are harmful to plantsand animals, it can also be extremely
dangerous to humans and the environment.} A pesticide long banned in most countries
including UK.

What are the
Dangers/Possible
effects to human
and animals?
In the University ofGothenburg(Sweden) and
University of London(UK),studiedthe its effects on human andanimals. Their findings centeredphthalates, such asPVC(polyvinyl chloride),flameretardants, dioxins, bisphenol-A,& PCBs (polychlorinatedbiphenyls) impact the body.These have known to havetoxins, but are still found in themany of the things we use.

Possible Effects/Danger on Human:
}One of their ways on affecting living things is byattacking the endocrine sys. The endocrinedisrupters ,they act as hormones that disrupt the
normal function of the endocrine system[controls
growth, tissue function, metabolism, reproduction&mood].
}When endocrine started to be affected by the
toxins, a host of abnormalities can come about. Inhumans they can cause cancer (breast, ovarian,testes and prostate), autism, reproductiveabnormalities.(low sperm count, change shape ofgenitals and delayed sexual development)

Possible Effects/Danger on
Animals:
} In animals, endocrine disrupters canaffect reproduction, growth and
immunity. Some chemicals such asherbicide Atrazine, it has the ability toalter animals gender.

What is being done to manage
chemical cocktails?
} There are regulations on chemicals andits production, each undergoes
evaluation so the consumers know thesafety and risks of it.
} For now the European Union and the USgovt are increasing their efforts to arrive
at guidelines and systematic approachdealing with chemical cocktails.

} EU legislation on chemicals called
REACH(Registration ,Evaluation, Authorization,and Restriction of Chemicals )it orders all
chemical manufacturers to track chemicalmixtures to ensure products are safe.
} The UK govt, UK Chemical Industry
Association and other international agenciesare working to speed up results.
} In US, the Environmental Protection
Agency(EPA),they were conducting usingchemical screening using ToxCast screening
program, a faster way to determine on howchemicals would affect human body.

What can I do to prevent increase of
chemicals to the environment?
} I maybe Young, but as far as Im concernedmy age doesnt matter at all. I can preventthe increase of chemicals to our environmentin doing simple or such ways in starting it withinmyself: by using natural products instead ofusing products that has chemical componentor synthetic products. And by joining in someorganizations in which they care for our
environment. And also being an advocate ofnature through imposing rules inside our homeby just using natural products.Simple ways butI know can help a bit.

AdditionalInformation:
EPA(EnvironmentalProtection Agency)
} They introduced
guidelines to helpchemical groupsand environmentalorganizationsidentify safer
alternatives tochemicals thatendanger health.
What are POPs?(PersistentOrganic Pollutants)
} Chemical compound
that remains in theenvironment for solong bec. They dontbreak down easily bychemical orbiological means.
And when absorbed,they build up inhuman and animaltissue.

Gender-bending Chemicals
Found in Everyday Products.Phthalathes
} Additives that makeplastics and other
products soft andflexible. Ex. DBP(nailpolish, ink,paint)DINP&DIDP(paint,sealants,ink)DHP(laq
uer,sealants,ceramics)BBP(floorings,ink,adhesives)
Bisphenol-A(BPA)
} Chemical applied inPolycarbonate
plastics(PP) and epoxyresin. PP found inCDs/DVDs reusablecontainers & babybottles. Epoxy resin
used inpaints,adhesives andlinings in metal cans.
Pesticides including pyrethroids,linuron,vinclozolin and fenittrothion.
