Kirtland AFB had a jet fuel leak go unnoticed for literal decades and was forced to set up a real water treatment plant after sitting on their hands for another 13 years after noticing the issue because it had reached the city water table. Chuds fought it insanely hard.

out of all the forms of Hillbilly i grew up with, firebugs had the lowest probability of making it through their teen years alive or even with both eyebrows. Wrenchnecks a close second but only because they usually find out about nitrous then immediately cross class into firebug.

Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant In the building of the plant, nine rural cemeteries in Webster and Bossier parishes came uniquely under the perpetual care of the United States government. Existing wooden grave markers were replaced with small concrete slabs without the names of the deceased listed on the markers. The cemeteries are Allentown, Crowe, Jim Davis, Keene, Knotttingham, Raine, Richardson, Vanorsdel, and Walker. Those interred are listed with dates of birth and death and occasionally with other information in a printed survey, but individuals cannot visit LAAP grounds to look for specific graves; none would be found by the names were such a search conducted e: A facility burning explosives and munitions waste first opened in Colfax in 1985, and was licensed in 1993.[16] Clean Harbors acquired it in 2002 from Safety-Kleen. The plant disposes of explosives and munitions waste by open burns from ammunition plants or defense contractors at "at least 42 locations across 22 states". In July 2017 it has been described as "the only commercial facility in the nation" allowed to do so without environmental emissions controls.[17] It has been burning propellant waste from the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, 95 miles north.[17] i am harry fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Feb 3, 2020 |

Memento posted:The Australian Air Force is embroiled in a pretty serious scandal right now with firefighting foam they knew 30 years ago to be insanely toxic that has been leaking from various bases into nearby water supplies. Those firefighting foam chemicals (PFAS) are all the rage in the environmental health world. They're in drat near anything that's 'stain resistant' and they're used in a lot of food packaging. Exposure is basically ubiquitous if you live in the US, at least, and drinking water limits are being set in the single digit parts per trillion range. I can pretty much guarantee if you're reading this you probably have at least a small amount of PFAS in your blood and it had been there for years. Hooray for the carbon-fluorine bond!

the woman chemist I was thinking about is Monona Rossol and the book she always shills on public radio is " Pick Your Poison: How Our Mad Dash to Chemical Utopia is Making Lab Rats of Us All" , everytime she guesses on radio I should become super aware how many things around me seem so cancerous.

Consumer contact the jury is out but it's worth using ALARA attitudes for anything with such strong causal health issues in industrial processes.

I can pretty much guarantee if you're reading this you probably have at least a small amount of PFAS in your blood and it had been there for years. Since late last year, the legal limit for PFAS here is 0.9µg/kg in the soil. That shut down a hell of a lot of construction.

Piss is what it's called when it exits your body. Which means piss is stored in the milk bottles people keep in their Piss Pantry.

I don’t need no company man telling me how to drop my turds, my father was a turdfuckler, and his father was a turdfuckler. Some day my son will be a turdfuckler too and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let some clown get in the middle of our turdfuckling experience, we know more about the real world of turdfuckling than some pencil pusher from corporate who’s probably never fuckled a single turd in his life
