Q: What is invisible, odorless and tasteless, but can contaminate our food and make us sick?

A: Chemicals - such as lead, arsenic, methylmercury and aflatoxin B1 - from both natural sources and human activities. Once contamination happens, it is often difficult to remove from food.

Over time, these chemicals build up silently in the body and can cause stomach-ache and vomiting as well as increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, intellectual disability and even death.

The good news is that the burden from some of these contaminants has been decreasing over time.

You can reduce your risk by:
🍽️ Eating a varied diet - don't rely on the same food every day
🐟 Limiting large predatory fish in your diet especially if you are pregnant or have young children

Governments can help prevent further impact by:
🌾 Improving agricultural practices
🏭 Strengthening industrial controls
🌍 Enforcing stronger environmental regulations

Most cardiac arrests happen outside of the hospital, and in those moments, nearly 75% happen at home. It could be someone you love who needs help — and you who steps in.

If you think someone is in cardiac arrest:

1. Call 911 right away and have someone get an AED, if available.
2. Start CPR by pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest — about two inches deep at 100 to 120 beats per minute.
3. Keep going until you see signs of life or help arrives.

Taking a CPR class helps you master these steps and gives you the confidence to act in a real-life emergency.
