Scientists describe the heavy load of chemicals found in the average person as a “Body Burden.” Even before our children are born, unsuspecting mothers pass on synthetic chemicals and heavy metals of all kinds through the umbilical cord. A recent study by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental research organization based in Washington, DC, detected 287 commercial chemicals, pesticides and pollutants in the umbilical cord blood of 10 newborn infants, randomly selected by the Red Cross from U.S. hospitals. The finding of these chemicals in the bloodstreams of the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society raises issues of substantial importance to public health and points to the need for major reforms to the nation's laws that aim to protect the public from chemical exposures.
