Background
The dispersal of many man-made chemical substances into the environment has led to concerns about the links with health problems and ecological damage. Release of chemicals has been caused both by accident and design: from, for example, manufacturing processes, spills, inadequate storage, use and after-use disposal.

Issues: Professor Jane Plant, Imperial College, London
