Wild Talks
#wildtalks A citizens deliberation on the Green Transition
In Europe and around the world, industries use chemicals to make everyday things like household items, toys, clothes, furniture, and electronics. The problem is that exposure to these chemicals is increasing. Back in the 1930s, about 1 million tonnes of chemicals were produced, but now it's over 500 million tonnes. This growth is happening even faster than the global economy. By 2020, it's expected to increase by 63%. What's concerning is that the chemicals are becoming more toxic over time.

I completly agree with you. The last exemple of the eternal pollutants (PFAS) also shows that political action need to be more proactive in securing public health. But the question is what kind of concrete actions should be taken by the authorities at various levels in order to avoid such issues.
