Pandora's Poison Chlorine, Health, and a New Environmental Strategy Hardcover - 2000 - 1st Edition

by Joe Thornton


From the publisher

This visionary yet practical book presents a solution to one of the most important environmental problems of our time: the global accumulation of toxic chemicals. Everywhere on the planet, hundreds of industrial chemicals called organochlorines are building up in the environment, in the food supply and in our bodies. These substances - which include such infamous pollutants as dioxins, PCBs and DDT, along with thousands of lesser-known hazards - are produced whenever chlorine gas is used in industry. Amassing a compelling body of evidence, Joe Thornton shows that organochlorine exposure already appears to be contributing to cancer, infertility, immune suppression, birth defects and neurological disorders in people and wildlife.

First line

In the next month, my wife, Margie, and I will have our first child.

U.S.A.: The MIT Press, 2000. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 0262201240 A nice, sturdy copy. No internal markings found. Pandora's Poison presents a solution to one of the most insidious environmental problems of our time: the global build-up of toxic chemicals.
