TOXIC CONSEQUENCES

Toxic Consequences: The Alchemical Dynamics of Toxic Sewage Sludge

Reveals how the planned and deliberate disposal of toxic wastes into our air, food, soil and water adds to chronic disease, accelerates Climate Catastrophe and the Carbon Bomb, and threatens biodiversity, sustainability and global security.

Toxic exposures, as enabled by agencies and industry, threaten Quality of Life, most especially by lengthening the Gap between healthspan and lifespan, for while many people may now live a longer life, they often spend more of their later years in poor health.

The added time we enjoy now as a longer lifespan presents a Public Health dilemma, both financially and with respect to quality of life, for duration of life in concert with quality of life is a precious asset, not to be squandered by thoughtless waste disposal practices.

We must improve the safety and management of the waste products of our infrastructure systems to better control the adverse consequences of exposure of people and our living environment to waste streams that present immediate and long-term systemic threats to human and environmental health, not as a worry, but in fact.
