Antibacterial Compounds May be Harmful for Pregnant Women
A new study finds that pregnant women and their fetuses are being exposed to antibacterial compounds that can be harmful. Â
Researchers tested about 200 pregnant women and found they all had triclosan and triclocarban. Â
About half of the babies tested positive as well. Â
Â
Those compounds can be found in soaps, toothpastes and toys, and have been known to cause developmental problems in animals.Â
