And remember, silica can be dangerous. Good heavens, beaches are full of the stuff.
And many fruit seeds contain cyanide. And airplane rides expose you to radiation.

How fast do they do so? And what numbers did you measure? To be clear, most sources ( including the EPA ) back your claim. Here for example, the evil socialists of Sweden (grin) say... >Methyl chloride (CAS No. 74-87-3) is released mainly to air during its >production and use and by incineration of municipal and industrial >wastes. How ever, natural sources, primarily oceans and biomass >burning, clearly dominate over anthropogenic sources. http://www.inchem.org/documents/cicads/cicads/cicad28.htm I'm also sure that the burning biomass in your backyard has released a slew of toxic chemicals. Should we revise the numbers to make these levels acceptable because they occur in nature? I do agree that folks are generally paranoid about chemical exposure, but if animal studies show harm with low concentrations then harm will be caused by low concentrations, regardless of the source. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
