O jornalista David Ewing Duncan, da National Geografic Estadunidense, escreveu um artigo denominado The Pollution Within para a edição de Outubro de 2006. E lá ele conta como foi procurar em si mesmo os sinais de poluição ambiental.
Uma palinha introdutória:
In fact I’m a writer engaged in a journey of chemical self-discovery. Last fall I had myself tested for 320 chemicals I might have picked up from food, drink, the air I breathe, and the products that touch my skin—my own secret stash of compounds acquired by merely living. It includes older chemicals that I might have been exposed to decades ago, such as DDT and PCBs; pollutants like lead, mercury, and dioxins; newer pesticides and plastic ingredients; and the near-miraculous compounds that lurk just beneath the surface of modern life, making shampoos fragrant, pans nonstick, and fabrics water-resistant and fire-safe.
Como diz a Pity do Koma: bizarro, bizarro, bizarro…
