Humans have been releasing tonnes of chemicals into their own habitat for years, many of which have never been tested for human safety. An estimated 9 million people die from chemical poisoning each year and those numbers will only keep increasing unless we do something to reduce the amount of chemicals in our air, food and water. Science writer Julian Cribb has documented the amount of chemicals we are releasing and what impact they are having on our health, and importantly how we can reduce the pollution caused by chemicals.
