Health officials have determined that baby bottles can produce anywhere from 7 micrograms/g to 57.7 micrograms/g of BPA. The questions...
Abandoned ships wreak havoc on the marine ecosystem long after they've sunk. Decaying wreckages leach toxic chemicals like petroleum products and PCBs that remain in the water harming or destroying sea life and potentially enter the food chain, eventually getting ingested by humans.
