Food pollution threatens lives of Inuit in Arctic. ... Substances known as persistent organic pollutants, or POPs, are now banned in North America but still used in developing countries. Harmful agricultural pesticides evaporate from farmland and are carried across oceans and continents by wind to the frozen Arctic, which scientists believe acts as a sponge for a wide range of pollutants. Chemicals then make their way into the food chain and settle in animal fat, an Inuit staple. 3, record 1, English, - food%20pollution

Légumes frais et pollution alimentaire. Les légumes frais contiennent souvent des nitrates et des résidus de pesticides, généreusement dispensés grâce aux méthodes d'agriculture actuelles. Les nitrates proviennent des engrais azotés mais aussi souvent de l'eau d'arrosage puisque les nappes phréatiques, dans bien des régions agricoles, en sont maintenant envahies. 3, record 1, French, - pollution%20alimentaire

La pollution de l'air et de l'eau est une pollution facile à comprendre et contre laquelle on s'insurge d'instinct. Mais la pollution des aliments par d'innombrables additifs chimiques n'éveillent pas les mêmes protestations puisque cette forme de pollution se fait sous le signe de l'infaillible technologie. 4, record 1, French, - pollution%20alimentaire
