For the first time this survey, called 'Indecent Exposure', is providing the public with a tool to assess how exposed they may be to hazardous chemicals in their daily lives.

To highlight these issues an awareness rising event will take place in Aberystwyth's Treehouse on 30 May 2006. People are encouraged to come along to take advantage of this tool and to find out more information about hazardous chemicals and most importantly how they can take action to ensure the new EU law known as REACH is strong enough to phase out the most hazardous chemicals..

WWF and the Treehouse wish to raise awareness of hazardous chemicals and their dangers, particularly those chemicals which are 'persistent' (meaning they stay in the environment for a long time and do not break down), 'bioaccumulative' (meaning they build up in living things) and 'endocrine disrupting' (meaning they interfere with people's hormone's systems').

Morgan Parry, Head of WWF Cymru, said, "This online test is a great way for people to get an understanding of which potentially harmful chemicals they may be exposed to in everyday products, and what they can do to try and minimise their exposure."

A series of blood testing on a Welsh family, a group of celebrities, and Assembly Member's last year highlighted how easily exposed adults and children are to these contaminants.

The survey can be accessed at www.wwf.org.uk/chemicals/indecentexposure, and is a short questionnaire which analyses people's lifestyles, diet, behaviour and use of particular products to estimate what hazardous chemicals they might be exposed to, and provides some suggestions about how to reduce their exposure in the future.

The Treehouse not only supports WWF's chemicals and health campaign with their locally grown organic food shop and restaurant, but their new shop sells everything for a holistic lifestyle from natural skincare to books and stationary, which are positive steps towards reducing the amount of chemicals on your skin, in your home and in the environment.
