[AMPS] PCBs

[Richard W. Ehrhorn]

AMEN, Peter ... And I think the point has already been made that BeO is not 
much of a health threat (except to those machining it) if handled with just 
half-way decent care.

It's not politically correct to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if, some 
day in the future, we'll find out that Alar on apples prevents heart 
disease and ghiardia, greasy burgers inhibit colorectal cancer and Asthma, 
and man-made CO2 emissions saved the rain forests. (Two out of three 
wouldn't be bad!)

73,   Dick

Interesting report on Reuters, displayed on the Yahoo news pages yesterday. 

A 31 year study of GE employees exposed to PCBs showed no excess cancers -
in fact, fewer than expected died of cancer.

Maybe PCB containing components don't have to be treated as if they
plutonium dust - just with reasonable care!
