Immersion in a hot toxic soup

From humans, wildlife and invertebrates: Simultaneous exposure of toxins and climate harms likely to cause reduced fertility

An " ‘alarming’ effect on fertility across global species from simultaneous exposures."

"The chemicals are ubiquitous in consumer goods, so humans are often regularly exposed."

“There is enough evidence in both areas to act to reduce our impact on the planet...The solution to the systemic problems would involve reining in climate change and reducing the use of toxic chemicals." >>

> This argument blithely obscures the fact that most natural chlorine found in the environment is inertly bound up as salt. The chemical industry invests huge amounts of energy to split #salt molecules to produce caustic soda and highly reactive chlorine gas, most of which is directed to form downstream products called #organochlorines (carbon-bonded chlorine compounds). Nearly all organochlorines are #toxic, persistent or liable to #bioaccumulate in the #FoodWeb once..[in] the environment.
