Endocrine disrupting chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) can interfere with thyroid hormone action in pregnant women and may travel across the placenta to affect the fetus. The polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are found in flame retardant cloth, paint, adhesives and electrical transformers. This new study was led by biologist R.
