Dying From Dioxin


A Citizen's Guide to Reclaiming Our Health and Rebuilding Democracy


Lois Marie Gibbs
and the Citizens Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste


It's in our food. It's in our bodies. And it's making us sick. According to recently released studies from the EPA, widespread exposure to dioxin is destroying the health of the American people. In Dying from Dioxin, Lois Marie Gibbs and grassroots activists and scientists with the Citizens Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste describe the alarming details of this public health crisis, and explain how citizens can organize against it.


Lois Marie Gibbs (The Love Canal Crisis):

In the spring of 1978, Lois discovered that her child was attending an elementary school built on top of a 20,000 ton, toxic-chemical dump in Niagara Falls, NY. Out of desperation, she organized her neighbors into the Love Canal Homeowners Association and struggled more than two years for relocation. Opposing the group's efforts were the chemical manufacturer, Occidental Petroleum, and local, state, and federal government officials who insisted that the leaking toxic chemicals, including dioxin, the most toxic chemical known to man, was not the cause of high rates of birth defects, miscarriages, cancers and other health problems.

Is This Your Child's World?


Doris J. Rapp, M.D.


Are Certain Children or Adults Always TOO SICK, TIRED, HYPER, AGGRESSIVE? Are They Unable to Think Clearly or Learn? Could They Have Unsuspected or Unrecognized ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS?


Applies also to ADULTS, HOMES, WORKPLACES and SCHOOLS


  • This book illustrates the way to tell which child or adults have environmental illness by the way they look, feel, write, and act or behave. Pulse and ability to breathe are also clues.
  • Learn how to SPECIFICALLY PINPOINT REASONS certain children or adults are unable to learn in certain rooms, outside the school, and at certain times after specific exposures AT SCHOOL, HOME, OR WORK.

    Inconclusive By Design


    Waste, Fraud and Abuse in Federal Environmental Health Research


    Authors: Sanford Lewis, Brian Keating, Dick Russell


    Environmental Health Network
    National Toxics Campaign Fund


    Two federal agencies, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), bear the primary responsibility for safeguarding the nation's environmental health. They are responsible for studying communities exposed to toxic pollution and wastes and making recommendations for public protection. Instead of ensuring a margin of safety and recommending measures to end public exposures to toxics, both of these agencies have routinely funded and conducted studies of effects of toxic pollution on public health which are inconclusive by design. These intentionally inconclusive studies have been used by polluters and government officials to mislead local citizens into believing that further measures to prevent toxic exposures are unnecessary. By systematically engaging in such practices, the two agencies are violating sound public health policy. This report offers an accounting of the waste, fraud and abuse that has proliferated in these agencies, and recommends reforms and congressional action to end the pattern identified.
