Tracing physical problems back to your shopping basket

This Greenpeace article explains the meaning of persistent and bioaccumulative chemicals in our environment, how they enter our bodies, and the effect they may have on our lives.

Knowing that these chemicals have the potential to cause irreversible effects such as cancer or genetic damage should be enought to raise our concern. Knowing that we may pass health problems on to our newborns should make us change some of our ideas about our environment.
