  1. Yes! It seems like I read something about screening that said that doctors are actually discouraged from screening for LC. Something about unnecessary surgery... amazing!
  2. http://www.catf.us/projects/power_secto ... ground.php The article discuses how enough power plant waste (PPW) is made each year to fill the Grand Canyon. Laden with heavy metals and other harmful toxics known to contaminate water supplies, these wastes cause injury and death to livestock and wildlife, and threaten human health with birth defects, cancer, and organ and neurological damage. PPW is routinely dumped in unlined impoundments, landfills, and mines throughout the United States, allowing hazardous chemicals such as arsenic, chromium, and lead to leach into surface and ground waters. The county I lived in graveled the roads on 2 sides of our property with this stuff. It looks like gravel but is softer and vehicle traffic pulverizes it into a fine powder and all of the waste that is cleaned from the stacks ends up in the residents yards, gardens, homes and bodies. If you touch a magnet to it, it gets covered with tiny iron particles. There is a law in this state that says it's not supposed to be disposed of like that but no one will do anything about it.
  3. This is an interesting subject. Electrostatic precipitators are supposed to collect something like 98% of the coal combustion by-products, but millions of tons of it has to be disposed of somewhere.
