I came across the following web site. http://www.dhmo.org/
What it has to report on the dangerous chemical DHMO is rather disturbing. I didn't realize that its use was so widespread and that the government appears to be covering up the dangers of its use.
From the website:
mong the many commonly-sited DHMO-related environmental impacts are:
* DHMO contributes to global warming and the "Greenhouse Effect", and is one of the so-called "greenhouse gasses."
* DHMO is an "enabling component" of acid rain -- in the absence of sufficient quantities of DHMO, acid rain is not a problem.
* DHMO is a causative agent in most instances of soil erosion -- sufficiently high levels of DHMO exacerbate the negative effects of soil erosion.
* DHMO is present in high levels nearly every creek, stream, pond, river, lake and reservoir in the U.S. and around the world.
* Measurable levels of DHMO have been verified in ice samples taken from both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps.
* Recent massive DHMO exposures have lead to the loss of life and destruction of property in California, the Mid-West, the Philippines, and a number of islands in the Caribbean, to name just a few.
I think it is really important that this dangerous chemical be looked much closer and that our public officials be held responsible for their lack of concern for the health of its citizens.
