TI  - Low levels of persistent organic pollutants raise concerns for future 
      generations.

AB  - Bans and regulation in many countries have reduced the environmental levels of 
      many persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Despite these declines, there is still 
      evidence of exposures in a range associated with adverse health effects. This 
      seeming paradox is a result of the realisation that levels once presumed safe can 
      cause subtle but important health effects. For example, levels of PCBs now shown 
      to affect human brain development are nearly one million-fold lower than levels 
      previously believed safe. These findings add urgency to efforts to globally 
      eliminate these chemicals, and carry lessons for persistent pollutants that are 
      still in widespread use today, such as the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) 
      and synthetic musks.
