These chemicals are useful, but some of them may possess certain risks for wildlife and human health. What is “the anthropocene blender of chemicals”? What is “the cocktail effect?” How many man-made chemicals are being used in different useful products? What are persistent organic pollutants and why are they harmful to wildlife and humans? How the holy cows affect the health of vultures in India? Why are there decreasing sperm counts observed in men over time? How are humans exposed to man-made chemicals?
