Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

Burning just one tire releases dioxins, PAHs and heavy metals linked to cancer, plus 7-8 liters of oil that melts into the ground and contaminates water supplies.

The burning tear gas grenade burn hot enough to melt and burn all kinds of things in the trash/recycling and you get cyanide and dioxins and furans and all kinds of fun shit.

People have thrown them into dumpsters and onto trash heaps, causing toxic smoke way worse than the original tear gas, things like cyanides and dioxins from combustion of plastics.

The paper mills in my town dumped untreated chemicals 24/7. Dioxins and dye. Most of the time the river was a bright orange. The Nashua River ran to the Merrimack, and then to the Atlantic, right where the fish we ate were.

Make America Healthy Again by increasing the amount of actual toxins that Americans are exposed to, including PFAS, formaldehyde, asbestos & dioxins.
Asbestos. One of the most strongly cancer-causing compounds in existence.
But at least they took away those dangerous multi-dose influenza vaccines!

1/ Last month, the EPA proposed a rule that will significantly weaken safety reviews for toxic chemicals used in the U.S. Weakening these reviews can open the door to more exposure to toxic chemicals, including PFAS and formaldehyde.
Trump EPA seeks to weaken scrutiny for some of US’s most toxic chemicals
New rule would shorten the time it takes to review chemicals, and alter the methodology used to assess their dangers

Dioxins are persistent environmental poisons, meaning they last essentially forever unless properly cleaned up and disposed of, and they can contaminate soil, water and even food supplies.
An estimated 3M Vietnamese have already suffered toxicity ranging from organ damage to birth defects to cancer

The world’s waters can be polluted with a who’s who of dangerous contaminants: PFAS, microplastics, heavy metals, dioxins, pesticides and more.
If a chemical goes into the water, it can end up in the seafood we consume. Here's what to look out for when buying seafood to reduce your risk.

Dioxins for one
When human-made materials like paint and plastics burn, they release more toxic chemicals than vegetation fires. A geography professor shares steps to protect your health before cleaning smoke-damaged homes:
Wildfire smoke inside homes can create health risks that linger for months − tips for cleaning and staying safe
The chemicals emitted when buildings and vehicles burn can find their way into nearby homes. Studies show the health risks can stick around.

Drove through the valley at 7am & you would have thought that the fire was there. By 10am ventura county was inundated. This is an insane distance for a structure fire. Insulation from the walls burning & I’m thinking dioxins in the air.

hat leachate can contain PFAS forever chemicals, flame retardants, solvents, dioxins, microplastics. Sewage works can’t filter them out. They end up in rivers, soils, crops. 2/

At the same time, as our case revealed, the water companies have lobbied vigorously to prevent the sludge testing rules from being updated. So sewage sludge is simply not tested for the great majority of toxic contaminants, from PFASs to dioxins, furans, PAHs, microplastics etc.

Congress voted to repeal protections against 7 of the world's most toxic air pollutants, including:
Mercury
Lead
PCBs
Dioxins
These pollutants cause cancer, fetal harm, disrupted immune function, developmental disorders in children, and other life-altering health impacts.

“Smokeless” dry wood and newer wood stoves still emit PM2.5, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, dioxins, etc…

As an actual specialist in the field, I can assure you that dioxins, hydrogen cyanide, various furan compounds, and carbon monoxide are very much more of an acute health hazard than CS tear gas

There's reasons why we banned mercury in hat-making, asbestos in construction, leaded gas, CFCs, dioxins, etc.
AIGen/LLMs are an exponentially-increasing, industrial-grade mind poison that will destroy our society if we let it proceed.
Think about it.
