Study: 485 Pesticide Chemicals Linked to Breast Cancer, Most Are Inert Ingredients

A Silent Spring Institute study identifies 485 pesticide chemicals associated with breast cancer risk, but only 145 are active ingredients; the remaining two-thirds are inert ingredients (solvents, preservatives) that bypass rigorous testing. This highlights a regulatory gap in chemical safety assessment, potentially underestimating public health risks.
