Dioxins Pros And Cons
Dioxins/Furans and the use of such is intoxicating & killing us like a poor man, hunting for his bargain each day & tricking us into death & ripening disintegration. Like many but not all toxins, dioxins can be an extremely deadly and dangerous byproduct; the reason why it is considered a carcinogen. It is also one of the mayor factors in the polluting of our environment, it may be small & puny but its resistance and bio radioactivity makes up for its size, increasing its potential threat immensely.

According to recent studies by the University of Virginia, & Department of Biosciences at Novum, Karolinska Institute, in Sweden “Tetrachlorodibenzo- p-Dioxin can mimic, transform and promote certain hormones in the body membranes, relieving people of stress, increasing release of endorphins and dopamine when accomplishing or achieving a certain goal, duplicating amount of estrogen in women, and testosterone in men for better performance in sports and physical activities. But its most remarkable use is that of increasing the strength and defense of the human immune system.” So you argue that Dioxins are good for the empowering or boosting of the human body bodily functions, but it all comes with a cost, no matter how much good it does or its capable of, it will keep increasing the “body burden” of the living host, eventually reaching the edge of the limit in stress &

    Toxic Contaminants are substances that can harm sea and human life. They come from human causes such as fertilizers, and other pollutants that humans use to decontaminate land plants. Many of these toxins are so strong that despite being consumed by wildlife and fish, the poisons tend to not break themselves down.

    Phthalates released to the environment in landfill sites similarly do not persist due to biodegradation, photodegradation and anaerobic degradation. The predicted current environmental concentration of phthalates was deemed to cause no adverse effects[23]. Thus there is no need for further risk reduction measures for now. However, pthalates do not readily break down in bodies of water, sediment, deep soil and ground water. There is a high potential for bioaccumulation of dibutyl phthalate in marine animals[23].…

    Sandra Steingraber wrote the book living downstream about her experiences with cancer and chemicals. In it she details the wars in playing an active role in the toxic century and in her words” changed chemistry and physics forever.” After each world war the need for each country trying to rapidly industrialize in order to beat other countries was so important that common sense was not present. Countries decided to forgo safety checks in order to make sure their products were more effective. As a result, many chemicals such as chorine, DDT (used as an insect repellant in the war) and PCB’s were released in society for commercial use. DDT in particular was linked to cancer and hurt wildlife in the…
