Toxic “Eternal Chemicals” has become a threat to people and animals in the North Pole, scientists learned 22:16

The international group of scientists discovered perforated substances (PFA) at high concentrations in the North Pole ecosystems. These permanent chemicals used in the industry accumulate in the organisms of people who eat traditional foods and even traditional food. The study was published scientifically magazine Total Environmental Science (STE).

PFAs, which are used in the production of anti -structural dishes, are transferred to the North Pole by water fresh and fire foam, air and water flows. Here, in animal organisms and traditional foods – they accumulate in the bodies of indigenous peoples.

“The North Pole is a global pollution mirror. It reflects the scale of the problem here,” said Professor, the joint author of the study, fell from the University of Faroe Islands to Vaiche.

According to experts, PFAs at the discovered concentrations disrupt reproductive functions, weaken immunity and cause hormonal faults in animals.

In humans, these substances increase the risk of thyroid cancer, liver damage and other disease. Native peoples who consume the meat of marine mammals are at a special risk.
