THE INSTITUTE HAS DEVELOPED NEW RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES AND PUBLISHED OVER 50 PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLES. AMONG OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST 19 YEARS ARE A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT "FIRSTS," INCLUDING THE FIRST TO MEASURE HOUSEHOLD EXPOSURE TO 30 ENDOCRINE-DISRUPTING COMPOUNDS (2003) AND QUANTIFY THE PRESENCE OF 55 EDCS IN 213 CONSUMER PRODUCTS (2012); FIRST TO IDENTIFY THYROID-DISRUPTING FLAME RETARDANTS AS A HEALTH RISK IN U.S. HOMES (2003); FIRST TO COMPILE A COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE OF BREAST CARCINOGENS (2007); FIRST TO DEMONSTRATE THAT FOOD PACKAGING IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF EXPOSURE TO HORMONE-DISRUPTING BPA AND PHTHALATES (2011); FIRST TO DEMONSTRATE THE LINK BETWEEN CALIFORNIA FURNITURE FLAMMABILITY STANDARDS AND INCREASED LEVELS OF FLAME RETARDANTS IN BLOOD, URINE, AND HOUSEHOLD DUST (2008) AND SUBSEQUENTLY DOCUMENT LEVELS OF NEW FLAME RETARDANTS IN CALIFORNIA HOMES FOLLOWING THE BAN OF PBDES (2012).
