Pollution from intensive agriculture and road traffic in the chimpanzee environment: assessment and health consequences. In the territory of the chimpanzees we studied at Sebitoli in Kibale National Park in Uganda, we found that 30 baboons also had facial malformations (Lacroux et al. 2019). Passive samplers (POCIS) placed in 3 rivers revealed 13 pesticides in addition to high levels of DDT, pp′-DDE, imidaclorpide and chlorpyrifos found in maize, fish and sediments (Spirhanzlova et al. 2019). Water samples have estrogenic and androgenic effects on tadpoles and transgenic xenopes (Spirhanzlova et al. 2019).
