Summary Of Pandora's Water Bottle

After reading the article “Pandora’s Water Bottle,” I found out that endocrine disrupting chemicals had played a significant role that altered the normal functioning of both wildlife and humans. Therefore, when we exposed to these chemicals in the environment, we would experience some symptoms, such as sleep disorders, reproduction problems, depression, or developmental problems. All in all, do you think it relates to products that we use to clean our home? Definitely yes. The more we exposed to these products, the more we likely absorbed these chemicals. Besides, the movie Chemerical and Silent Spring also had the same ideas with this article. Obviously, ingredients in our products that we used contained lots of harmful chemicals, which could cause and damaged our health. For example, ammonia found in glass cleaner, naphthalene found in the carpet cleaner, chlorine found in bleach, BPA found in plastics, sodium lauryl sulfate found in dishwashing soap, or DDT found in several pesticides. These chemicals would damage our eyes, throat, liver, brain, and if we swallowed, it could be fatal. In the article, it pointed out that they had a proof which “vinyl toys, polycarbonate baby bottles, and food cans leak potent endocrine disruptors.” As a result, “every year, 10s of thousands of children under the age of 3 are poisoned
by the chemical found in our household cleaners and personal care products.” When our bodies absorb these chemicals, these common compounds might scramble our natural chemical messengers, and infiltrated our biological
