#Germany: Study Shows Chemical Banned in 2013 Increasingly Found in Children

"[B]etween 2017 and 2021, the proportion of samples [from kindergarten children] contaminated with MnHeP increased from 26% to 61%."

These #government people do nothing but talk about #global-warming.

The presence of the harmful substance, linked to male #infertility and higher risks of #diabetes and #obesity, was discovered as part of the ongoing 6th German environmental study on health.

Banned Books
