Chemicals and public health

76 toxic chemicals, notably in consumer goods, have been found in the blood of 39 MEPs. The research covered 101 substances from five groups: organochlorine pesticides (including DDT, banned in 1978), PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls, banned progressively from 1979 onwards), brominated flame retardants (present in computers, TVs, sofas...), phthalates (plastics, cosmetics, toys...) and perfluorinated compounds (some textiles, teflon coatings...). For toxicologist Jean-François NARBONNE (director of a laboratory of the CNRS), the authorities could have been the first to address this public health issue.
