Toxic chemicals found in everyone’s blood
WWF-the global environment network said the report, “ContamiNATION, The Results of WWF’s Biomonitoring Survey,” reveals that chemicals such as DDT, which has been banned for decades, were also found in high levels. It has been associated with a range of health problems including cancers and nervous and immune system disorders.
The survey is the first to identify the widespread contamination of people by a chemical used to prevent fire in everyday products, such as cars and television sets.
