[kj] mark of the beast closer than expected

[sade1]

Thanks for that, as i had no idea of PC gear toxicity. This all further supports my postAmish tendencies. 
And I feel the same way about the cellphones.

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 sick 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.

The environment affects our health, too ;)
