De Kemiske BornThe Chemical Kids
Today's average European has at least 500 detectable chemicals in his body that were not present in the organs of his grandparents in the twenties. Over the last 50 years our use of chemicals has risen from 7 million tons in 1950 to 250 million tons today. Because although we extend the use of chemicals every single day, we are only just beginning to understand the subtle ways in which such chemicals affect our children's ability to learn, how they influence their social behaviour, how they impair our ability to fend off disease and our ability to reproduce. Not a single child born today will be able to escape this chemical heritage, which is passed on from mother to child during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Or trough the food they eat.
