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." >>

Imported pests and broad-spectrum pesticide regulation
"A “wildly toxic” chemical used to combat fire ants and the varroa mite in Australia is banned in Europe and harmful to humans – and it is poisoning waterways and killing native fauna, experts warn."
"Australia is “a basket case” in that the chemical regulator answers to the department of agriculture, rather than to the department of health, as in Japan, the US and Europe, said Landos."
"NSW MP Emma Hurst of the Animal Justice party said: “It is time for Australia to catch up to the rest of the world and ban fipronil.”"
