TOXIC BODY REPORT MUST NOT BE IGNORED - BAKER
25 Nov 2003
A WWF report, released today, has found highly toxic man-made chemicals in every person tested in a UK wide blood survey, including the banned chemical DDT.
Commenting on the report, ContamiNATION, Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, said:
"WWF have done the British public a great service in highlighting the hidden dangers of these chemicals, most of which are found in the home.
"The Government cannot ignore this shocking report.
"The short-term dangers of certain individual chemicals are well publicised. But, as a society, we are simply not doing enough to consider the impact of chemical cocktails, or of the long-term effects of chemicals on the body."
