Toxic chemicals in air, food, and water are linked to numerous health issues, including cancer, obesity, and infertility. A study identifies contamination in humans as endemic, emphasizing the underestimation of health risks. Over 3,600 synthetic chemicals are found in humans worldwide, with 80 especially dangerous. Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are prevalent, with 14% of European teenagers showing concerning blood levels. The study suggests a strong link between pesticide exposure and various cancers, comparable to smoking risks, indicating an immediate need for action against toxic chemicals.
