Toxic waste creates hermaphrodite Artic polar bears

According to David Usborne, Artic polar bears are being poisoned by chemical compounds. One of the most serious and interesting kinds of evidence is the problem of hermaphrodites in polar bears. About one in 50 female bears have both male and female sex organs. Also, we should know and research the fact that polar bears, the final level of the food chain, are the most common victims because of the concentrated pollution from the food chain.
Nowadays, chemical compounds like endocrine disruptor has been the most serious problem in the world. Many researchers have tried to do research about chemical compounds, but they couldn’t clearly suggest how to solve the problem. I am going to show you what endocrine disruptor is, how to solve that, and how it affects us.
First, endocrine disruptor is not provided by a normal organism, but by chemical material from industrial activity. It can obstruct normal functions in animal organisms, even humans. Actually, it was produced by industrial materials such as DDT, PBDE, and dioxin. Usually, it is made when industrial materials are burned. There is a serious problem, which is that it causes a decrease in spermatozoon in animals and makes animals hermaphrodites. That is why polar bears could be hermaphrodites.
Second, in advanced countries, like the US and Japan, they perceive the truth, and try to protect animals from endocrine disruptors. They control and regulate the use of them. However, many countries, like underdeveloped countries, still continue to use them. Therefore, OECD, which is Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, tried to overhaul countries about that in 1998.
Third, endocrine disruptors affect not only animals, like polar bears, but also humans. If endocrine disruptors seep into our body, we can get a deformed child; also our body will be changed to get a disease. There are many ways to protect from endocrine disruptors. For example, we should eat clean food, and we should let babies eat mother’s milk. Also we should reduce our household refuse and use recyclable stuffs.
In conclusion, actually it is not only animals and environment problems but also our problems. We have to quickly make an alternative energy and then we can get away from endocrine disruptors. After we do that, we can protect our babies and us.
