21 NOV 2024 · n today's episode of "State of Current Affairs," hosts Lillian Cauldwell and Viki Esther Chang delve into the presence of chemicals in marine animals that are part of our daily diets. Since the late 20th century, mercury has been detected in swordfish, yet consumption persists whether frozen or fresh. More recently, scientists have found traces of chemicals in salmon. This isn't surprising, given that many drugs end up in the sea
during shipment, leading to incidents where sharks have ingested these substances and been affected by cocaine and other chemicals.
The pollution of our oceans has also contributed to declining fertility rates in Western countries. While much of this is attributed to Generation X, Y, and Z opting out of parenthood, economic factors and societal views on parenthood as a threat to individual survival and living standards also play a significant role.

Ms. Chang began the conversation by addressing various pollution sources, including landfills, ocean pollution from plastics, medical waste, chemicals, illicit drugs, and garbage that endangers sea life. She highlighted the visible debris orbiting Earth from astronaut activities, landfills contaminating soil and water, abandoned vehicles, and other detritus of civilization without proper disposal.
