Measuring Pollution In Humans

Posted by Hemos on from the you-come-out-to-3.5%-filthy dept.

CHaN_316 writes "Scientists have begun measuring pollutants in our body and the results sound like a chemical clean-up site. They've found things such as flame retardants, chemicals derived from DDTs, mercury, uranium, cotinine, and many more. The concern is a lot of this stuff is ending up in mother's milk. But hey, at least in the event of spontaneous combustion, I'll be partially protected."

    Why, only today did I learn that flammable and inflammable meant the same thing!
