Indeed. Environmental professionals knew it was poor, but I'm a pretty jaundiced one, and I had no idea it was this bad.

What I am waiting to see is a comprehensive assessment of the neurotoxin impacts. It will need some science savvy muckracker to do it. Anybody in science reporting gunning for a Pulitzer should hit this.

It is not any exaggeration at all to say that our exceptional and intractable dropout rate problem, and the storied Portlandia dullness are both reasonably attributable to this mass multiple neurotoxin poisoning. It is exactly what you would predict from these exposures. You would also predict pandemics of specific learning disabilities  among the young: ADD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalcula (sp?), and developmental delays.  You would predict exceptional incidences of Parkinson's like and MS like problems among the elderly. If the OHA did it's job instead of scamming to insulate industry from accountability, they would have addressed all this decades ago.
