[kj] mark of the beast closer than expected

[Brendan]

California has / had a law about furniture needing to be fire resistant to x
standard, (can withstand open flame without catching fire for x seconds or
something) that required high concentrations of chemical flame retardants,
bisphenol A amongst others if memory serves. That's come under the spotlight
recently as the chemicals are used on computer circuit boards as flame
retardant. The computer industry created a new certification system called
ROHS, reduction of harmful substances, to reduce or stop the use of those
amongst other toxic chemicals as they were causing 'issues'. I generally
only buy something if it complies with that. Computers have all sorts of
chemicals in them, LCD screens in particular, none of which have been tested
in combination (only indivually) to come up with toxicity levels, and I
don't think their behaviour under the influence of various forms of
electromagnetic radiation has been thoroughly tested either. Back in the day
some people used to get quite sick from the old CRT monitors, in fact many
IT depts would burn them in by leaving them on in a room for their first
week to burn out some of the initial high concentrations of chems. Oh and
some laser printers (esp the cheaper ones) have now been found to put toxic
amounts of fine toner into the air...research continues. Personally I limit
my use of cellphones as well, I don't believe they are safe in high doses
long term.

I haven't heard the expression 'raised sucking lead' for a while.
 
Asbestos is illegal in Cali. If it's where you live, report it.
NOW JPL and Rocket fuel in the ground soil is another matter..not that Mr
Bush cared..

Exactly. 

And I'd add asbestos in buildings, chemicals used to fix dyes to fabric,
etc. etc. All elements no one can avoid.

The environment affects our health, too ;)
