Reply-to: meuser@mapcruzin.com X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01d) Hello - The latest Rachel's Environment & Health BiWeekly says that at the present rate it could take as long as 85,00 years to figure out the synergistic effects of cominations of 3 of only 10% of the 80,000 chemicals now in use. This is unacceptable. Some call for invoking the "precautionary principle." First, read the newsletter. http://www.mapcruzin.com/news/news091000a.htm What do you think?
