The Toxicity of Man

New American health probe thingy. They found lots of pretty dangerous pollutants in their test group.

Love this quote:

A more precise picture of human contamination with industrial chemicals, pollutants and pesticides is not possible because chemical companies are not required to tell EPA how their compounds are used or monitor where their products end up in the environment. Neither does U.S. law require chemical companies to conduct basic health and safety testing of their products either before or after they are commercialized. Eighty percent of all applications to produce a new chemical are approved by the U.S. EPA with no health and safety data. Eighty percent of these are approved in three weeks.

It's interesting, just how polluted one can become and still be considered to be, uncontaminated.

Sort of like a shade of grey schema, when it comes to 'safe' levels of radiation. Allegedly the radiation emitted from Sellafield is 'safe', in terms of it's levels, however, when one takes into account the type of radiation emitted by Sellafield, vis-a-vis cancer clusters in and around Nuclear reactors, it becomes obvious that such broadband shade of grey attitudes to pollutants are all to often, spurious assumptions.
