...but allows 1000's of other potentially hazardous chemicals to remain untested

Greenpeace today (17th November 2005) recognised the important step taken by the EU Parliament in Strasbourg this morning towards replacing hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives but expressed regret that MEPs have chosen to exempt thousands of other chemicals from the need to provide any health and safety information.

In tests on four pairs of Disney-branded pyjamas available at The Disney Store and other major retailers, a toxic chemical called nonylphenol that can interfere with human DNA and effect sperm production in mammals was found. Also present in the children's garments were phthalates, which can cause liver, kidney and testicular damage and are banned from teething toys under emergency legislation.

'Gender bending' and other chemicals that can damage reproductive organs, interfere with growth and development and damage the immune system have been found contaminating children even while they are still in the womb, according to a report published today by Greenpeace (1).

The report further finds that these chemicals are likely to have a far more significant effect on pre-natal and newly born children than they do on adults, because of differences in patterns of absorption, metabolism and excretion of chemicals.
