GBlist: Re: toxins and pollutants



When I originally read (on the Green Building List) Peter Olsen's response
to the post which  raised the toxicity concerns and posed the associated
questions, I too found it humorous.  On re-reading it from Linda Lee Evans
forward to this list, I must say I find his remarks rather noteworthy. 
Further, if you put aside it's assumed vindictiveness, P. Olsen's comments
seem to me to reflect only good will to the original author and to all the
rest of us dwelling here on this unimaginably intricate, but frail living
planet.  Bravo Peter, I got it.
