General Note: Dioxin causes expensive disabilities like ADD/ADHD, diabetes and cancer. Eliminate endocrine disruptors like dioxin and save $4,000/year/household on unnecessarily high Medicare and private medical insurance, disability taxes and extra income taxes to make up for taxes not paid by unnecessarily disabled people. |

Fine dust transport of dioxin and other toxins; "Unexpected" exposed groups...... (revised 05/10/2000) ======================== "Its Blowing in the Wind." Latest Gulf Illness Suspect: Sand; Army Doctor Says it Acted as Carrier for Multiple Agents March 06, 1999 NewsReal's IndustryWatch. The Cincinnati Enquirer (Copyright 1999) _____via IntellX_____ CNNFN; chemical industry. "It {fine-sand] actually increases the effect of the chemical agent. It makes an unchallenged delivery to the target organs," Col. Korenyi-Both said. "And it is completely invisible; no one will recognize it as a chemical agent." An unusual fine-grain sand that covers much of the Persian Gulf region plays a key role in the mysterious diseases that affect thousands of veterans eight years after the Gulf War, an Army doctor says. Most people recovered within a few days [from dust], but the strange illness stayed on Col. Korenyi-Both's mind. He sent bags of sand home as souvenirs. After the war, his son, who was working for NASA, showed Col. Korenyi-Both some electron micrographs of the sand. He saw that the tiny particles were covered with nooks and crannies. Further study showed that other agents and microbes could attach to the silicon particles, in effect becoming "dusty agents." "The Bedouins have a disease called 'desert lung syndrome.' The symptoms are the same," he said. "The sand is bioactive by itself." The fine particles not only attack the lungs, they actually can penetrate into the bloodstream, where they circulate virtually forever, he said. "It will lower your immune system, leaving you open to whatever hits you from the outside world," he said. Worse, later research revealed that chemical weapons bonded to the sand became even more dangerous. "Like a good soldier, I submitted it for clearance. And I received clearance," Col. Korenyi-Both said. "Then the clearance officer disappeared, never to be seen again. Subsequent publications were denied for two years." Now, he said, researchers are seeking him out to discuss his theory.
