\nScientists found high levels of a previously unsuspected pollutant in homes and in an electronic waste recycling facility in Ontario, and in southwestern Lake Michigan. The chemical, tri(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl) phosphate or TDTBPP, is an organophosphate known to be toxic. People are likely exposed to this pollutant by breathing contaminated dust or through skin contact. Levels were particularly high in house dust.<\/p>\n
