Pregnant women in the polar regions have higher PCB toxins 10 times higher than women in industrialized countries and up to 17 times more mercury. Seals, whales and bears have rates nearly 30 times higher than normal. This invisible threat comes from the sea or air, and it is our pollution, the lifestyle of the industrialized countries, which would be responsible.
