What's on that list are ONLY things that are relatively easy to monitor. They are all things that are toxic in fairly high levels, meaning if you want to make a case there's a problem you have to find a lot of it. That's why in some of the cases you can buy stuff over the counter to do the job -- it's pretty easy to detect a lot of anything. No one has asked about sulfonamides and related compounds, all of which are known to be anti-biotics and are also known to be a common thing produced when you combine train car loads of concentrated sulfuric acid with train car loads of something high in protien (ie, high in amino acids) like corn. Having airborne materials like that would go a long way to explaining some of the chronic complaints I've heard from the neighborhood, and it's reasonable to expect that they are there. Does MPCA monitor for those? Well, they're not exactly on top of the easy ones like acrolein (pentanal), so don't hold your breath. Or *do* hold your breath, as the case may be. I still think that the fundamental problem at GSE is that they really don't know what they are doing. Remember, this whole enterprise was NOT part of the original plan -- it was whipped out partially brewed in an effort to save the enterprise.
