Toxicity:
The Invisible Tsunami
How pervasive toxicity threatens
human and planetary survival
What if one of the biggest threats to our health and planet is invisible, yet found in our air, food, and water?
We're excited to share a preview of our latest report - "The Invisible Tsunami", which was created by our team and funded by global non-profit, The Grantham Foundation.
Below, you can download an exec summary of the full report. Over eight months, we conducted an extensive analysis, including 50+ interviews with global experts and countless peer-reviewed studies. This research definitively shows that the impacts of chemical toxicity are largely underestimated, contributing to increasing cancer rates, declining fertility, and a surge in chronic diseases, alongside ecosystem damage.
Consider these facts:

This research definitively shows that the impacts of chemical toxicity are largely underestimated, contributing to increasing cancer rates, declining fertility, and a surge in chronic diseases, alongside ecosystem damage.
Consider these facts:
- Over 3,600 synthetic chemicals from food contact materials are found within human bodies globally.You can read the executive summary
- PFAS have contaminated the entire world, with levels in rainwater often exceeding safe drinking water limits.But this report isn't just about the problem; it's a call to action for solutions. We highlight critical industry, regulatory gaps and, most importantly, identify key areas for innovation and urgent funding that can put us on the right path to increase our understanding and make positive changes where it's most needed.
- Over 90% of the global population is exposed to air pollution exceeding World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.
- The impact of pesticide use on cancer incidence may rival that of smoking and is linked to leukaemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, bladder, colon, and liver cancer. Prenatal pesticide exposure increases the odds of childhood leukemia and lymphoma by over 50%.
