Toxic shock
Toxic Shock, Part 1: A review by federal regulators has determined that chemicals once thought to be benign are potentially dangerous for the physical health of Canadians.
Federal regulators have determined that about 4,000 chemicals used for decades in Canada pose enough of a threat to human health or the environment that they need to be subjected to safety assessments.
The sheer number of chemicals needing review means there is probably not a person in Canada who hasn't been exposed to some of them.
While many are industrial compounds, others are widely used to make everyday products found in practically every home and office in the country, ranging from hair dryers to water bottles, fast-food wrappers, TVs, computer casings and the inside of tin cans.

I am thankful for the smoking law in SK because a woman who is close to me suffered permanent sinus infection from her workplace. Within 3 months of the ban, voila, no sinus issues.
ReplyDeleteAnd so her sinus infection would not have cleared up if her workplace had a designated smoking room that was well ventilated?
