Description

2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) is a highly toxic industrial chemical. It has been illegally sold as a diet pill for weight loss. DNP is poisonous to humans and can cause death, as well as other serious physical side effects.

It is a crime to sell DNP for human consumption in the UK. The effects of DNP can be catastrophic and cause serious harm to health. Taking DNP has resulted in a significant number of deaths in the UK.

The NFCU are seeking to better understand users awareness of the potential threat from DNP and identify other substances that this audience may use which could cause a similar threat to health, or which might be experimented with before users move to using DNP. Many seek support and advice from like-minded individuals through on-line engagement in group blogs, social media sites and product review streams.
