DID YOU KNOW THAT?

The problem of waste dumps is continuing to grow. As the American National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences said in 1991, "A limited number of epidemioligic studies indicate that increased rates of birth defects, spontaneous abortion, neurologic impairment, and cancer have occurred in some residential populations exposed to hazardous wastes. We are concerned that other populations at risk might not have been adequately identified " and the Council said. "Millions of tons of hazardous materials are slowly migrating into groundwater in areas where they could pose problems in the future, even though current risks could be negligible".
