I don't know about you but I've had it up to hear with all the dioxins and furans in Fremont these days.

These were the DIOXINS and there are about 40 of them with one of them toxic to animals and humans in parts per billion. Thousands upon thousands of Nam Vets were exposed to and absorbed these dioxin chemicals into their body fat where they started doing their damage. They are severely damaging to the DNA/RNA chains in the body and the damage is progressive. ...

According to Toxicswatch-Alliance, incinerator technology is being discouraged world over as it's one of the biggest sources of dioxins — toxic chemicals that accumulate in the food chain, mainly in the fatty tissue of animals. Scientists say dioxins can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer. Not surprisingly, ...

identified as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, 1-butadiene, arsenic, cadmium, chromium and nickel. Long-term exposures of the notional maximum exposed individual (MEI) in the local environment, together with aggregate emissions from transport ...

emitted by Plant Washington, including sulfuric acid mist, particulate matter, and dioxins, which are among the most toxic compounds known to humankind. If permits are upheld as EPD originally approved them, Plant Washington would add tremendously to air pollution in Georgia. ...
