[kj] mark of the beast closer than expected

 Damn,

I must have been exposed--unwillingly-- to a lot of bad stuff in the name of productivity :(. I knew all the printers part, and I never liked the idea of working next to a printer that had to be on all the time.

California has / had a law about furniture needing to be fire 
resistant to x standard, (can withstand open flame without catching fire for x 
seconds or something) that required high concentrations of chemical flame 
retardants, bisphenol A amongst others if memory serves. That's come under the 
spotlight recently as the chemicals are used on computer circuit boards as flame 
retardant. The computer industry created a new certification system called 
ROHS, reduction of harmful substances, to reduce or stop the use of those 
amongst other toxic chemicals as they were causing 'issues'. I generally only 
buy something if it complies with that. Computers have all sorts of chemicals in 
them, LCD screens in particular, none of which have been tested in combination 
(only indivually) to come up with toxicity levels, and I don't think their 
behaviour under the influence of various forms of electromagnetic radiation has 
been thoroughly tested either. Back in the day some people used to get quite =0
Asick from the old CRT monitors, in fact many IT depts would burn them in by 
leaving them on in a room for their first week to burn out some of the initial 
high concentrations of chems. Oh and some laser printers (esp the cheaper ones) 
have now been found to put toxic amounts of fine toner into the air...research 
continues. Personally I limit my use of cellphones as well, I don't believe they 
are safe in high doses long term.

I haven't heard the expression 'raised sucking lead' for a 
while.
 
Asbestos is illegal in Cali. If it's where you live, report 
it.
NOW JPL and Rocket fuel in the ground soil is another matter..not that Mr 
Bush cared..

Exactly. 

And I'd add 
asbestos in buildings, chemicals used to fix dyes to fabric, etc. etc. All 
elements no one can avoid.
