Other environmental pollutants that can cause fibroids to grow include dioxins. Dioxins are a group of 75 related compounds and the most toxic of the dioxins is TCDD .

TCDD (this is short for 2,3,7,9, Tetracholorodibenso-p-dioxin) and its another group of chemicals that pollute the environment. These dioxins come from industrial waste, and the byproducts from the chemical industry.

This dioxin can mimic estrogen in the body (as it fits into the estrogen receptor sites) and even a minute amount of this chemical in the blood can suppress the immune system, increase the risk of developing cancer and increase the risk of birth defects in the developing fetus.

You can also find dioxins in paper products bleached with chlorine, such as:

  • tampons and sanitary towels
  • toilet paper
  • tissues
  • disposable diapers
  • coffee filters
  • paper plates
  • paper napkins
  • paper towels (such as kitchen roll) 
  • and cigarette paper.
