More girls and less boys
No, I am not talking about the dream of teenage guys. This is a much more serious issue. The Independent reports that Toxic chemicals are skewing the gender ratio badly amongst the tribes in the Arctic. Scientists opine that lifestyle choices in the industrialized world has a lot to do with this.
Despite the Arctic's pristine environment, the area functions as a pollution sink for much of the industrialised world. Winds and rivers deliver a toxic tide from the northern hemisphere into the polar food chain. Scientists have traced flame-retardant chemicals used in everything from industrial products to furniture, phones and laptops to the food chain, finding high levels of these pollutants in seabirds, seals and polar bears. The Inuit have traditionally relied on a hunter- gatherer's diet almost exclusively made up of marine animals, making them especially vulnerable to toxic pollutants.
