The wave of chemical violence now sweeping the country is approaching epidemic proportion." It is a massive violence, too charitably called pollution. Although it usually avoids immediate pain, it silently generates future devastation," write the editors of this chilling report on chemical contamination in America. Who's Poisoning America collects seven case studies of calamitours chemical pollution, most often chroncle by journalists who followed the stofy while it was breaking. EAch account focuses on the victims of the incident, emphasizeing the staggering cost in public health, human lives, and the threat of pern=manently blighted environments. The flow ofpollution is then followed to its source,to major corporations whose indifference, ignorance, or outright defiance of consequences and culpability is responsible for contamination.
