There are four I can think of off the top of my head:
1. We're pretty careless with VOCs and other chemicals (e.g. off-gassing new furniture in enclosed environments, or from heated teflon). Folks should open windows more often, plus it's a shame it's not more widely known how easy it is to get exposed to this.
2. There are flame retardant chemicals in just about all soft furniture in the US, which end up as dust particles and end up ingested/inhaled.
3. Phthalates in everything.
4. Glyphosate showing up in large quantities in food, particularly kids' cereal.
