description BACKGROUND: The overwhelming number of potentially toxic chemicals in consumer products and in our daily environment makes it unrealistic to carry out in-depth analyses of each product with the objective of banning and eliminating toxic chemicals from our environment. OBJECTIVES: To present the challenges that environmental toxicology and epidemiology are currently facing in the context of ubiquitous chemical pollution. DISCUSSION: We propose a realistic and pragmatic approach to this Herculean problem.
