A Scots river has been found to have the second highest concentration of a toxic chemical thought to harm human fertility ever found in the world.

Joint research by York University and environmental charity Fidra has raised the alarm on levels of TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) in ­Glasgow’s River Kelvin.
