Metals and the residue of pharmaceuticals, for example, in high doses, contaminate water and food, creating mixtures where they can interact, with this increasing their individual toxicity.

They enter our bodies through food, air or the skin. But how do these complex mixtures of chemicals affect our health? In a new study, a research team from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental ...
