This article explains why chemicals are pretty much the worst things ever.


The average human body contains over 700 man-made chemicals which is just so crazy!

Chemical damage spans all over the world, from the sea to the land to you and I. There are hundreds and hundreds of man mande chemicals in the human body from living the way we do. The impact on the sea inlcludes everything from a change in water pressure to poisoned fish. Companies a l lot of the time have chemical byproducts and do not even bother to test or predict their impact on the environment. And as I mentioned, once one area is affected, it also effects other parts of the environment. When the ocean is affected, the land is too. Chemicals that are not dispossed of propderly are often dumped into the ocean and then travel into our food and the air we breathe. It is no wonder there are more and more health risks and problems are forming!

The good news is that almost all forms of pollution can be prevented. Scientists have discovered many ways to use substitute solutions, and are in the process of developing more. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Response and Restoration runs a program to assess risk to ecological resources and find solutions for these problems.
