Melting glaciers and ice sheets are releasing cancer-causing pollutants into the air and oceans, scientists say.
The long-lasting chemicals get into the food chain and build up in people's bodies - triggering tumours, heart disease and infertility.
The warning comes in new international study into the links between climate change and a class of man-made toxins called persistent organic pollutants.
