[Stoves] LPG import in India

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Thanks.

TCDD dioxin is the second most carcinogenic substance known, I heard long ago.

I heard this week that the EPA announced, after innumerable delays, that there is no evidence that glyphosate is carcinogenic - something totally ignored by nearly all same news outlets, save three, that for nearly two decades raised the alarm that 'it might be'.

What would suit the stove industry is a similar declaration that some forms of PM and far less dangerous than others, giving us specific targets for elimination.

It's a long time ago so I cannot rememer the details but because of
the way it was handled and the spray landed on people and food crops
the  contamination was significant. The agent orange produced in bulk
contained about 600 times as much TCCD as that used in UK agriculture.
Subsequently it was found 2,4,5, T itself was toxic so was withdrawn.

I think TCCD like DDT accumulated in fat in the food chain so  it
ended up in the Vietnamese population. It is a carcinogen and
implicated in birth defects.
