A new study reports that endocrine-disrupting chemicals and other carcinogenic compounds found in hair dyes and straighteners may increase breast cancer risk, particularly in women of color. The study, conducted by the epidemiology branch of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, appears in the International Journal of Cancer (published online December 3, 2019. doi:10.1002/ijc.32738 ).
