Chemical Alert

In November 2005, an 11-year-old schoolgirl called Mollie Clements was invited to speak at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. She had just taken part in a research programme that revealed she had 75 man-made chemicals in her blood and she asked the politicians to do something to make the environment cleaner and healthier.

She has quite a typical family: mum, dad, granny and two sisters. Each member of the family has been contaminated with more than 25 hazardous, man-made chemicals which could be slowly destroying their health. This family took part in a WWF study of seven families to find out how polluted our bodies are. It is the first time that three generations of the same family have been subjected to such a rigorous battery of tests for a total of 104 man-made chemicals.

It was thought that grandparents -having been exposed to chemicals that are now banned and with many more years of exposure behind them-might have been more contaminated than the younger generations. But the children were actually found to have 75 different chemicals in their blood compared to the 56 in their grandparents’ blood.

Many of the chemicals are used in the manufacture of furniture, TVs, non-stick pans, carpets and clothing. Experts believe the children may have inherited older toxins from their mother’s blood in pregnancy or through breast milk, as well as being bombarded by scores of newer chemicals in the course of their daily life. Many are so new that scientists have no idea how they will react with older chemicals already in the body.

Justin Woolford, WWF Chemicals and Health campaign director, says, ‘This is a wake-up call to the UK government and the European Union to stop repeating the mistakes of the past and ensure these chemicals are banned and replaced with safer alternatives.’
