Chemical pollution significantly threatens human and environmental health, comparable to climate change yet lagging in public recognition and action. The industrial economy has produced over 100 million synthetic chemicals, with 40,000 to 350,000 in commercial use. These chemicals affect health, with associations found between chemical toxicity and conditions such as ADHD, infertility, and cancer. Studies indicate significant levels of dangerous chemicals in human bodies, especially from food contact materials, and a majority of the global population is exposed to air pollution levels beyond WHO guidelines.
The industrial economy has created more than 100 million novel entities, or chemicals not found in nature, with somewhere between 40,000 and 350,000 in commercial use and production.
Chemical toxicity is linked to effects ranging from ADHD to infertility to cancer, showing the widespread contamination of the biosphere.
Over 90% of the global population breathes air that breaches World Health Organization (WHO) pollution guidelines.
Pfas forever chemicals have been found in nearly all humans tested, making them ubiquitous and often unsafe even in rainwater.
