These chemicals, and the tens of thousands of chemical products synthesized from them, are now present in every environment on earth, including the womb. Extremely low concentrations of many chemicals can damage the endocrine system of our bodies by interfering with the intricate, delicate network of natural chemical interactions critical to healthy development and normal function. In September, 2010, TEDX released "The Fossil Fuel Connection", a one-page statement describing the link between fossil fuels and low-dose prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals.
