Food for thought
30,000 man-made chemicals are being traded in the EU and many are used in consumer products. Only a small percentage of these chemicals have been adequately tested for safety. Individually, each chemical may be harmless in a minute quantity, but there are big concerns about the combined effects of the chemical cocktail we are awash with.
According to the CHEM Trust*, some of these chemicals are persistent and able to bio-accumulate in living organisms including humans. When they build up in the human body, they can cause serious health problems, long-term illnesses and cancer; they are passed down the generations, from mother to offspring in the womb and through breast milk. These chemicals need to be replaced with safer substitutes – this would significantly benefit our health and our environment.
Environmental organisations have been campaigning for years to stop the use of toxic chemicals in consumer products. Even with regulations like REACH** (2007 and 2011), it will take time to completely phase out the dangerous chemicals used in consumer products. In fact, the chemical industry weakened REACH so much that they can still use highly suspect chemicals even if a safer alternative exists.

**Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) is an EU legislation, which came into force in June 2007 to demand hazardous chemicals in consumer products to be substituted with safer alternatives. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances.
