Contaminated Britain
As part WWF-UK's Chemicals and Health Campaign, we have conducted four biomonitoring surveys of human blood, to identify hazardous man-made chemicals that contaminate our bodies.
- Our biomonitoring survey tested 155 individuals from different parts of the country
- The second, 'Contamination: the next generation' investigated the contamination of three generations of seven UK families.
- We also tested eight celebrities from the worlds of TV, sport and cooking.
- The fourth and most disturbing demonstrated that unborn babies are being contaminated in the womb.
