One lead to another and I read this horrifying and shocking article - the poisoning of michigan.

Americans carry much higher levels of these chemicals in their bodies than anyone else in the world and California children contain some of the highest levels ever measured. During manufacturing, use and disposal, these chemicals are released into the environment where they can be found in air, water, and wildlife. They are carried on air currents as far away as the Arctic where they pollute native human populations, marine mammals, and even polar bears. Exposure to toxic flame retardants have been linked to real and measurable health impacts. Women with higher levels of flame retardants in their blood take longer to get pregnant and have smaller babies. Children exposed in the womb have lower IQs and attention problems. Other studies have linked flame retardants to cancer, male infertility, male birth defects, and early puberty in girls. A recent study in animals has linkedWhy is california singled out - because of TB 117. Read more here - TB 117.
TB-117 2013 is coming and it may not address all your fears.

This is sad news - I didnt know that the air I breathe at home is contaminated with silent killers. A sudden spurt in some conditions and *my natural age* was always the common explanation. Thanks to Janette Neeves Rivera's petition, I understand how thoroughly fvcked I am to live in homes made of carcinogenic materials. No wonder that the generations past the 1950s suffer from untold and rare diseases - all the time I am asking why is that such conditions are not abound in third world? Cause the people are not rich enough to drink the modest concoctions of the western thinktank - eat, drink and breathe carcinogens.
