UK Should NOT be exporting toxic fuel additve.

The UK is exporting a toxic fuel additve to some of the worlds poorest nations. TEL is made only in  Cheshire in the uk and its shareholders are trying to maximise their profits by exporting it. The additive is banned in the uk but not in some of the worlds poorest countries. It is extremely hazardous to the health of the people who breath it in and it should be banned from being sold to poorer nations

Go here for the story.

The UK should be ashamed to sell toxic chemicals like this and disregard the health of children and adults alike who are already in a poor and straightened circumstances.

ALL toxic chemicals should be BANNED world wide.
