We are constantly exposed to phthalates in our environment through plastic products such as storage containers, medical devices, packages, fabrics, and toys. Specifically, di-isononyl phthalate is inevitably becoming a part of our lives. Unfortunately, the impact of DiNP on the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy is largely unknown. In a new study, researchers used mice to understand how DiNP affects pregnancy. "Although we finally recognize that environmental chemicals impact women's health, most studies have focused on men's reproductive health and very few studies have looked at how these chemicals affect women," said Jodi Flaws (EIRH co-leader/MME), a professor of comparative biosciences.

MUMBAI : Pests and diseases are exacerbating crop shortages that have sent prices for goods like cocoa, olive oil and orange juice soaring. That's set to become even more prevalent as extreme weather events multiply. Already, plant diseases cost the global economy over $220 billion every year, and invasive insects at least $70 billion, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. Pests adapt easily to the changing climate, with warmer temperatures allowing them to generate more quickly and migrate faster, in turn reducing crop yields, according to Leah Buchman, an entomologist at Georgetown University.
