        <description><![CDATA[Proving something safe is really impossible.  With new instruments we can detect minute quantities of dangerous chemicals--but at these level the risk is for all practical purposes 0.  Then we have the issue of defining &quot;safe&quot;.  If this chemical effects 1% of the populations is it safe?  What if it effects 0.1%?  0.001%? How far do you go?Swimming pools kill thousands of Americans every year -- mostly children--shall we ban them?I could go on and on, but I think you get my point.BTW had the World Trade Center been insulated with Asbestos it would have stood for 3 to 4 more hours before collapsing, allowing time to evacuate everyone below the impact point.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It was 1993 or 1994.  My daughter began 3rd grade in a brand new school.  After a week I noticed she was more pale than usual, crabby and fatigued each day after school. I suspected she was reacting to new materials or allergic to something in that building. Long story short, she ended up in the hospital with a pulse/ox of 69, a diagnosis of asthma and a bag full of medicines.  Even with the medicines she was miserable everyday.   I put her in a private school that was in a brick church building which was built in the 60's.  She was never that sick again. Beware!]]></description>
