Biography
In daily life, everyone is exposed to a certain degree of chemical substances from household products, food, packaging and the environment. These substances can even reach unborn children via the mother’s womb or placenta. The level of exposure is usually very low, but some substances can disrupt the hormone system and have negative consequences for health, as PhD Candidate Virissa Lenters discovered over the course of her research.
