Who Is Responsible For Birth Defects From Toxins?
Refineries, electrical utilities, and manufacturers of paper, metal, plastics, and various chemicals all emit large amounts of neurological and developmental toxins. Numerous household products including pesticides, organic solvents, and cleaning solutions are also a significant source of poisonous toxins. Unfortunately, existing governmental policies do little to protect the public from dangerous pollutants and toxins. Industrial facilities often find loopholes to evade compliance with state and federal emission levels, and many toxic chemical products make it to the market with little or no safety screening.
