Toxic Cocktail 'Inside All of Us'


A cocktail of highly toxic, man-made chemicals has been found inside every person tested in a nation-wide survey of 155 volunteers, according to a Worldwide Fund for nature report.

PCBs, which are found in electrical equipment, and a breakdown product of the carcinogenic pesticide DDT were found in 99 per cent of those tested. The survey also identified widespread contamination of people by a chemical - deca-brominated dipheyl ether - used to prevent fire in everyday products, such as cars and televisions.

"The chemical industry is contaminating the nation and the Government is rolling over and allowing it to continue," said Justin Woolford, a WWF campaigner.
