MIT team probes arsenic and old lakes 08-29-2002 Hi Everybody, Reading the information posted below, I am only more convinced that we are going to find out that people are being poisoned from the offgassing of cca vapours. I have found slight references to this in information that I have recieved under the access to info act. I have several victims on my list that appear to be poisoned this way. There are also references in literature that was not published about builders not understanding the many possible reactions that can take place and that this wood should not be used in residental construction. Perhaps this is the key, that something is occuring that causes the vapours to offgass, alumuminum, zinc, and mold can all do this. That we know. I sure hope somebody is studying it. Anyway a new discovery has been made about arsenic in water. Take care and please keep safe.

Hamilton of Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., and his colleagues. Previously identified endocrine disrupters have included many pesticides, industrial chemicals, and pollutants including dioxin. This is the first time that a metal has joined the list, says
