Traces of pollution can be found in even the polar ice-caps. But while the great disasters at Seveso, Minamata and Bhopal make headline news, the constant dangers chemicals pose to unborn children are too often ignored. Now, in this forceful overview of the major new science of reproductive toxicology, John Elkington provides a thorough assessment of the available evidence and explains the terrible dangers which threaten our children and grandchildren. There are, he admits, examples of environmentally conscious industries – far more common in Japan than in Britain – but these are still very much the exceptions, and changes are needed now. The Poisoned Womb is a book as powerful and timely as Rachel Carson's great classic, Silent Spring, and will prove equally influential.
