Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, persistent organic pollutants, and the achievable utopias
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is perfectly sensible to ask your butcher, grocer, or supermarket manager how much the meat, fish, or milk you buy harbour environmental chemical agents such as the pesticide residue DDE, polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorobenzene, orhexachlorocyclohexane, which comprise the bulk of persistent organic pollutants in humans.
