Dioxin, depleted uranium, ozone holes, doomsday anthropogenic global
warming, ddt, cellular telephones and brain cancer, and nuclear power -
the
nemesis of mankind .... And the beat goes on.
Remember the Love Canal "disaster"? Remember when Times Beach Mo. was
evacuated by order of the US govt. in 1983? EPA then built an
incinerator on
the Times Beach site and actually "burned" all of the dirt supposedly
contaminated by dioxin. Did you know that the burn at the Times Beach
site
was finally completed in 1997 (14 years!!!) and a 500 acre park was
completed in 1999? EPA views this as a huge Superfund success.

Did you read of the Italian town that suffered a dioxin spill about the
same
time as Times Beach? They simply replanted the "contaminated" area and
constructed a children's park on the site. To the best of my
understanding,
no ill effects on these children or townspeople were ever observed.

You can improve your understanding by going to Google and doing a search on the words "dioxin Seveso cancer health".
That will generate a lot of hits. Discard the obviously right-wing and left-wing ones and the ones that are 10 to 15 years old and read a few of the rest.
