Serious health problems related to chlordecone

The French West Indies hold the world record for prostate cancer. According to Professor Pascal BLANCHET, a urologist at Pointe-à-Pitre CHU, there is a link between chlordecone and the explosion of the number of cancers: "We double our risk of having this disease when the level of chlordecone in the blood exceeds one microgram per litre of blood." Doctors are also concerned about disorders in infants who have ingested chlordecone through diet and who have motor delays that may worsen as they grow older. Luc MULTIGNER, researcher at Inserm: "We suspect that it may have effects on other aspects of development, possibly pose obesity problems." Illustration: Images of two medical consultations.
