Don't laugh; it's not funny. It could be dangerous to infants. Will EPA act?
************
A study published today in a peer-reviewed scientific journal found the toxic rocket fuel chemical perchlorate in every one of 36 samples of breast milk from nursing mothers in 18 states.
The study comes just days after the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted a safety standard for perchlorate in drinking water recommended last month by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The findings of today's breast milk study raise serious concerns for breast-feeding infants relative to the EPA/NAS safety standard.
