 Pandora's Poison:ÝChlorine, Health,
and a New Environmental Strategy Pandora's Poison presents a solution to
one of the most insidious environmental problems of our time: the global
build-up of toxic chemicals. Everywhere on the planet, hundreds of
industrial chemicals called organochlorines are accumulating in the
environment, the food supply, and our bodies. These substances--such
infamous pollutants as dioxins, PCBs, and DDT, along with thousands of
lesser-known hazards--are produced when chlorine gas is used to make
plastics, paper, pesticides, and many industrial chemicals. In a thorough
and accessible analysis, biologist Joe Thornton shows how global
organochlorine pollution is already contributing to infertility, immune
suppression, cancer, and developmental disorders in humans and wildlife.
