Updated Litagion agents based on newly published science
In this release, all Litagion agent profiles have been updated to reflect recently published peer-reviewed literature. We provide more detail on the impacts this literature had to the general causation risk score (GC risk score) for the Litagion agents below. The general causation score measures the extent to which peer-reviewed scientific literature supports a hypothesis that a particular Litagion agent causes bodily injury or property damage.
- Bisphenol A (BPA): A recent study on 4 year old female children suggests a significant association between BPA and impaired social communication, a cognitive disorder.
- Perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid (PFNA): Low birth weight in infants is linked to maternal PFNA concentration measured at mid-pregnancy.
In addition, we want to highlight the most significant changes in the overall risk for the following Litagion agents as the result of recently published peer-reviewed literature:
| Litagion agent | Overall risk change | Reason for change |
|---|---|---|
| Calcium Carbonate | Medium-low risk (light green) to Medium risk (yellow) | Changes in dynamics projections |
| Tetrachloroethylene (Perc) | Low risk (dark green) to Medium-low risk (light green) | Changes in dynamics projections |
