Current risk assessments for chemicals have mainly been carried out using single-compound approaches. In other words, they essentially ignore the negative synergistic effects that substances have when present in combinations. This approach clearly has to change. Research from Denmark has already confirmed the dangers of chemical cocktails in foods. As a result, for example, we now know that even small doses of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can amplify each other’s negative effects when present in combinations. The same will undoubtedly also be true for the numerous pharmaceutical drugs that are now polluting the environment.
