   GATHERING POLLUTION

   The breeding ability and immune defense system is seriously damaged in life, both animals and humans, in the northern area of the planet. Pollution has now spread to every corner of the globe and is now, among other places, accumulating in the arctic. Preliminary reports are no being gathered from many research facilities and a new, extensive cooperative research-effort is being prepared.
   During the last few years several worrisome developments have emerged and been tracked by the various institutes. The emerging picture is of a society and a population saturated by pollutants. Every year since 1940, 1000 new industrial chemicals have been introduced to the environment and human body. There is general consensus that this can't be healthy. Camping within a chemical laboratory seldom is. We've seen how animals are affected and have fooled ourselves into believing that we're not animals, that we're not affected like they are. The illusion is about to break like an eggshell.
   Pollution of exceptionally high concentrations is being measured, Jon Oivind Odland by the university of Tromsoe says.
