I agree - tried to find the "URPs" (UPR!) in Medline and other search 
systems. URP seems to be a new invention. I also tried to find a
reference to benzene, formaldehyde and mutagen/carcinogen production.
Again no references. The only thing one finds (Altavista search) is
a bunch of websites where some of the stranger findings/claims
are repeated (they obviously cite each other). Nowhere is quantitative 
information given on the named substances. And
food poisoning seems to be an unknown phenomenon. I observed
that there are anti-nuclear power attacks in some of the messages.
These are irrelevant in most of the contexts but it shows that
at least some of the problem is political rather than scientific.
