The serious diseases caused by toxic chemicals in your food and water

• A new report, 'The Invisible Tsunami,' warns that toxicity from chemicals is the 'most underrated threat facing humanity,' with risks to health and the planet 'widely underestimated.'
• The report reveals that over 3,600 synthetic chemicals, including dangerous PFAS, are present in human bodies globally, with PFAS found in almost everyone tested.
• Strong links have been established between chemical exposure and severe health issues, including escalating cancer rates, declining fertility, obesity, and neurological disorders, with pesticide use potentially rivalling smoking's impact on cancer.
• The production of persistent chemicals has led to widespread contamination, breaching a 'safe planetary boundary,' with PFAS found globally in rainwater and human blood.
• Researchers are calling for urgent, coordinated international action and better standardisation to manage synthetic chemicals, stating the current approach is 'inadequate' and 'misunderstood.'
