Redateljica Penelope Jagessar Chaffer bila je znatiželjna u vezi kemikalija kojima je bila izložena tijekom trudnoće: Mogu li utjecati na njeno nerođeno dijete? Stoga je upitala znanstvenika Tyronea Hayesa da je uputi u nešto u što se dobro razumije: atrazin, herbicid koji se koristi za kukuruz. (Hayes, stručnjak za vodozemce, kritičan je prema atrazinu koji prikazuje uzemirujuć učinak na razvoj žaba.) Zajedno na bini na TEDWomenu, Hayes i Chaffer pričaju svoju priču.

Tyrone Hayes + Penelope Jagessar Chaffer: Otrovano dijete?

The chemicals found in everyday products are entering human bodies and silently contributing to rising childhood diseases and developmental issues. In just one generation, autism rates have increased sixfold, and children are exposed to tens of thousands of synthetic compounds unknown to previous generations. Substances like atrazine and BPA mimic hormones and can disrupt both animal and human biology in profound ways. These exposures not only impact current health but can affect generations yet unborn.
