5.0 out of 5 stars A Landmark Work On A Very Important Subject!, Mar 17 2003

Danny G. (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dying from Dioxin: A Citizen's Guide to Reclaiming Our Health and Rebuilding Democracy (Paperback)
According to the EPA, Dioxin is one of the most toxic poisons known to the human race. That's all the science I need to know. The author is a well known and respected environmentalist who writes passionately about the subject. It's a shame this issue has fallen off the radar screen. Chlorine is a menace to our health and the health of the planet. It's that plain and simple!

This review is from: Dying from Dioxin: A Citizen's Guide to Reclaiming Our Health and Rebuilding Democracy (Paperback)
This is one of two books I have read on this subject, the other one being _Our Stolen Future_, by Theo Colborn.

The Colborn book is much more well known, and it is highly regarded. In comparing the two books, I actually think that _Dying from Dioxin_ is superior, both in its scientific information and its clarity of presentation.

I don't mean to denegrate the Colborn book, but the Gibbs book predates Colborn, and has at least as much useful information. The Colborn book is interesting in that it is written in the format of a mystery novel, rather than a conventional technical paper.

One of the useful concepts that Gibbs presents concerns the many different dioxin-like pollutants that exist. She clearly explains the concept of how different compounds, such as PCB's can be assigned a numerical factor, based on their equivalent toxicity, relative to the most toxic dioxin compound. Although this numerical estimate method has serious limitations, Gibbs and her colleagues explain what the limitations are. To make sense of the sea of pollutants in which we live, this numerical method is one of the only tools we have for making practical decisions to reduce our toxic exposure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dying from Dioxin : A Citizen's Guide to Reclaiming Our Heal, Feb 29 2000
By Sharon E Gorman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dying from Dioxin: A Citizen's Guide to Reclaiming Our Health and Rebuilding Democracy (Paperback)
Many people are unaware of how detrimental Dioxin, a toxic waste byproduct that occurs when chlorine is burned and when other organic chemicals that contain chlorine are manufactured, is on health. This book reviews the studies that confirm the correlation to Dioxin and disease/health problems, such as endometriosis, cancer, birth defects, learning disorders. This books provides a good synopsis and indepth review of Dioxin supported by scientific research. Lois Marie Gibb's Dying from Dioxin is as revealing as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. This book is a must for environmental/health activists, parents, teachers, health practitioners, and anyone who cares about health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Info Regarding Dioxin Poisoning, Aug 4 2009
By George A. Smellie "Geo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dying from Dioxin: A Citizen's Guide to Reclaiming our Health and Rebuilding Democracy (Hardcover)
Very informative for the person interested in halting the production of dioxin.
I will no longer recommend blended Biodiesel. I will advocate B100 to replace petroleum diesel fuel.
Thanks Lois.
