I tried to type in this chart earlier, but when the editor and modems got
|
|
through with it - it was a mess. I'll try it again. It's a listing of some
|
|
*HIGHLY* toxic materials...some of which may fall into the "Most Dangerous
|
|
Substances On This Planet" hall of fame.
|
|
|
|
POISON LETHAL DOSE

|
|

|
This list is far from complete. There are plenty of other nasty vicious
|
|
chemicals in industrial usage every day...some of which happen to be on
|
|
railroad cars that go through towns and near houses...
|
|
The list of possible carcino gens alone would take up pages and pages.
