Toxic chemicals, both naturally occurring and man-made, often get into the human body. We may inhale them, swallow them or absorb them through the skin. A woman who is pregnant may pass them to her developing fetus through the placenta. The term "body burden" refers to the total amount of these chemicals that are present in the human body at a given point in time.
Some chemicals remain in our bodies for a short while before being excreted. Other chemicals can remain for years in our blood, fat tissue, semen, muscle, bone, brain tissue, or other organs. For example, Chlorinated pesticides (DDT), can remain in the body for 50 years. Of the approximately 80,000 chemicals that are used in the United States, we do not know how many can become a part of our chemical body burden, but we do know that several hundred of these chemicals have been measured in people's bodies around the world.
