Well, if the dude is right, then under the current system I guess you won't find out which chemicals were the toxins for a few more decades.
It sounds like fear mongering, but the point about using a bunch of chemicals that are not really tested because they are presumed to be safe is a little suspicious. Might be worthwhile to actually run tests on these things and find out how bad they are before it makes a bunch of people's lives worse.
One thing the article is good at is pointing out that we have a history of using various chemicals without really understanding what the adverse health effects are.

- nulltype 12y agoIf you consider the recent popularity of lead (known to be dangerous for hundreds of years) and asbestos, you might not want to reconsider where the burden of proof should lie. It would probably be a better idea to require that chemicals used around you be proven safe rather than proven dangerous.
