    John Spengler, a professor of environmental health at Harvard School of Public Health, who was not【C11】______the study, says the work is "very important" for improving health concerns and【C12】______companies to possible cross-contamination in products, whether from the supply【C13】______or the packaging. "You don’t want to worry people【C14】______a reasonable extent," he says, adding that trace amounts of some chemicals may not pose a problem.【C15】______, he says, there’s an "interactive" accumulating effect from broad use of chemicals,
    【C16】______it’s important to look at them as a group. The study, which tested for 66 chemicals and found 55 of them in the products, says sunscreens and fragrant products had the most【C17】______chemicals and some of the highest concentrations. Brody, who says there needs to be a more【C18】______listing and testing of a product’s ingredients,【C19】______consumers to use fewer products, seek plantbased ingredients and rely on【C20】______water, baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.
