Chemical Trespass is a term I first saw in either the book "Living
Downstream" by Sandra Steingraber. ISBN 0-201-48303-3 or the book "Our
Stolen Future" by Theo Colbourn et al. ISBN 0-0525-93982-2 They both raise
reasonable questions about your assertions below. I think you will find
these books provide the well reasonded arguments you ask for and do cast
some serious doubt about the safety of the even very low level of endocrine
distruptoring chemicals esp. during fetal development. Mike Miller
