It could take decades to resolve doubts about the safety of all these chemicals, one way or the other. But Timothy June isn’t waiting. He’s stopped buying tomato sauce in tin cans to avoid the BPA, which scientists say tends to leach out of can linings when the contents are particularly acidic. He’s ditched his vinyl shower curtain in favor of a cloth one. And he’s considering getting rid of the foam mattress on his fishing boat. “I guess the survey had a bigger impact on me than I realised,” he says. Let’s all hope the chemicals aren’t having an even bigger impact on us.
