We are all contaminated. We have made our environment 'toxic', and simply breathing and drinking causes us to absorb Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). These substances are here to stay, and none of us will see their end in our lifetime. It's depressing, but that's how it is!
Should we give up? Certainly not, as doctors warn us: the already serious consequences of this contamination will only worsen if nothing is done. The risks to health and the long-term degradation of ecosystems are no longer hypothetical—they are proven, and it is time to act to minimize them as much as possible.
Are policymakers heeding the warnings? Current events suggest not. One wonders if decision-makers realize this affects them too. Do they hope to escape the health consequences of their decisions? Are lobbies really that convincing? When the public and medical professionals speak out together but are not heard, it raises questions about the democratic legitimacy of those in power.
With Simon Wertz, member of the environment unit of the Fédération Inter-Environnement Wallonie.
