Study Reveals Household Chemicals Pose Brain Health Risks

A groundbreaking study by Case Western Reserve University identifies common household chemicals as potential risk factors for neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis and autism.

Researchers from Case Western Reserve University found 292 of 1,823 household chemicals tested are harmful to brain cells called oligodendrocytes.
Exposure to certain chemicals in flame retardants and cleaning products linked to increased risk of neurological conditions.
Children and individuals with preexisting health conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, are most vulnerable to the harmful effects.
The study emphasizes the need for further research to establish clear links between chemical exposure and brain health.
Experts call for informed decisions on regulatory measures to minimize exposure and protect public health.
