Egg Studies: Global Reports

Chicken eggs are sensitive indicators of chemical contamination in soils and dust and because they are widely consumed, they are a common exposure pathway from environmental pollution to humans. IPEN and its Participating Organizations have conducted dozens of scientific egg sampling projects to expose threats from persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other toxic chemicals.
