Overview

• The ‘Invisible Tsunami’ report synthesizes decades of research on over 3,600 synthetic chemicals to document pervasive contamination of air, water, food and consumer products.
• PFAS were detected in almost every person tested, with 14% of European teenagers showing blood levels linked to serious health risks.
• Prenatal pesticide exposure is estimated to raise childhood leukemia and lymphoma odds by more than 50%, and overall pesticide use is tied to multiple adult cancers.
• Researchers link widespread chemical exposure to declining sperm counts, rising obesity and dementia rates, infertility and other chronic health conditions.
• The report concludes that current international chemical management is fragmented and urges a unified global treaty to enforce standardized safety measures.
