When Viviane Maraghi took blood tests to find
out how many chemical pollutants were in her
body, she expected the number to be low. An
environmentalist, she carefully monitored
what she ate and the household products and
items she purchased.
Nevertheless, lead, arsenic, mercury, PCBs,
flame retardants, and an array of other chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and
neurological diseases were all well represented in her bloodstream. She tested positive
for 36 of 68 potentially toxic chemicals, many of which never actually leave the body,
but instead continue to accumulate over time in tissues such as fat or bone.

Dangerous chemicals are in the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat
and the products you use. Over the last 50 years, from 70,000 to 100,000 different
chemicals have been introduced into the world‘s markets with about 1,500 new ones
added each year. Only now are governments beginning to examine the dangers posed
to human health and world ecosystems.
Many western governments are finally initiating new chemical controls as part of the
2006 Strategic Approach to International Chemical Management agreement. Leading
the way is the European Union, with a new program called REACH (Regulation on
Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) that requires
industry to prove the safety of their chemicals and consumer products before they reach
the market.

Comments:
The sheer number of toxic chemicals that you are exposed to on a daily basis is truly
staggering. With some 100,000 different chemicals being used throughout the world,
and 1,500 or so more being added each year – all without any major oversight or testing
for safety until after the fact – is it any wonder that you’re not as healthy as you should
be?
The number of toxic chemicals is so large, addressing them all would be an impossible
mission, but I believe being an informed and vigilant consumer CAN help you keep your
toxic load as low as possible, even if it may be impossible to cut your exposure to zero.

After all, they’re everywhere; in your air, water, soil, food supply, and in a vast majority
of the personal care, household and yard products you use on a regular basis. Today,
they’re even in the circuitry boards of the electronics you surround yourself with. Some
of the sources of toxins you have control over. Others, you don’t.

of these health hazards.

8. Environmental Toxins
Environmental Toxins
Many of the toxins that you’re exposed to are from your general environment, which
also ends up including your food supply. A few of the most common environmental
toxins are:
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls): This industrial chemical has been banned in the
United States for decades, yet is a persistent organic pollutant that's still present in your
environment.
Risks: Cancer, impaired fetal brain development
Major Source: Most farm-raised salmon, which accounts for most of the supply in the
United States, are fed meals of ground-up fish that have absorbed PCBs in the
environment and for this reason should be avoided.

9. Environmental Toxins
Pesticides: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 60 percent of
herbicides, 90 percent of fungicides and 30 percent of insecticides are known to be
carcinogenic. Alarmingly, pesticide residues have been detected in 50 percent to 95
percent of U.S. foods.
Risks: Cancer, Parkinson's disease, miscarriage, nerve damage, birth defects, blocking
the absorption of food nutrients
Major Sources: Food (fruits, vegetables and commercially raised meats), bug sprays

10. Environmental Toxins
Dioxins: Chemical compounds formed as a result of combustion processes such as
commercial or municipal waste incineration and from burning fuels (like wood, coal or
oil).
Risks: Cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, chloracne (a severe skin
disease with acne-like lesions), skin rashes, skin discoloration, excessive body hair,
mild liver damage
Major Sources: Animal fats: Over 95 percent of exposure comes from eating
commercial animal fats.

11. Environmental Toxins
Chloroform: This colorless liquid has apleasant,nonirritatingodoranda slightlysweet
taste,and isusedtomake other chemicals. It's alsoformed when chlorine is added to
water.
Risks: Cancer, potential reproductive damage, birthdefects,dizziness,fatigue,
headache, liver and kidneydamage.
Major Sources: Air, drinkingwater andfoodcan containchloroform.

12. Environmental Toxins
Heavy Metals: Metals like arsenic, mercury, lead, aluminum and cadmium, which are
prevalent in many areas of your environment, can accumulate in soft tissues of your
body.
Risks: Cancer, neurological disorders, Alzheimer's disease, foggy head, fatigue,
nausea and vomiting, decreased production of red and white blood cells, abnormal
heart rhythm, damage to blood vessels
Major Sources: Drinking water, fish, vaccines, pesticides, preserved wood,
antiperspirant, building materials, dental amalgams, chlorine plants

13. Environmental Toxins
The American Cancer Society has stated that environmental pollution causes:
 Cancer
 Alzheimer's
 Parkinson's
 Asthma
 Nervous disorders and hyperactivity
 Emphysema
 Nasal congestion and burning eyes
 Headaches and muscle aches
 Burning and tingling skin
 Irritability and mental confusion
 Lack of coordination, and other
symptoms
