A new report by Deep Science Ventures highlights the pervasive threat of invisible toxic chemicals to human health and planetary survival. The extensive analysis reveals that the impacts of chemical toxicity are largely underestimated, contributing to increased cancer rates, declining fertility, and chronic diseases.
The research found that over 3,600 synthetic chemicals from food contact materials have contaminated human bodies globally, while PFAS have polluted the entire world, with levels in rainwater often exceeding safe drinking water limits. Air pollution also poses a significant risk, affecting over 90% of the global population.
Moreover, pesticide use has been linked to several types of cancer and increased the risk of childhood leukemia by over 50%. The report concludes that chemical toxicity is an underestimated risk to society and demands more attention and resources.
The report identifies three key areas for innovation: pesticides (herbicides and insecticides), food contact materials, and personal care products. It highlights critical industry and regulatory gaps and calls for urgent funding to address these issues.
The report provides a comprehensive overview of the problem and offers solutions, making it a crucial resource for anyone seeking to understand and combat chemical toxicity.
