Profit #1, People #2,

Contaminants measured in all populations include

mercury, lead, mirex, hexachlorobenzene, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane,

selected polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

• Biomonitoring programs in Michigan, Minnesota and New York

to assess human exposure to Great Lakes contaminants

~~

In 2010, the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative was launched GLRI

The GLRI funded , the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry ATSDR

Then the ATSDR initiated Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations the (BGLP).

The objective was to assess human exposure to contaminants

From 2010 – 2015 people from Michigan, Minnesota, and New York were tested

~~~

PCB’s, DDT, Dioxin, heavy metals like lead and mercury are well known

These items bioaccumulate and biomagnify,

meaning that the concentration in animal tissues increases

from bottom-dwelling microorganisms up the food web

to increasingly larger animals, like humans .

~~

Let’s be very honest, INDUSTRY comes first and foremost

–after the fact, and a distant second, come the people and the water.

I have little trust in government Protecting People, from contaminants,

pollutants, chemicals, residue, fumes, emissions, by products, etc.

Humans are extremely resilient, adaptable, powerful animals.

We WILL poison ourselves before nuclear war breaks out

Hundreds of these type studies have been done

There is little doubt many of these chemicals float around inside of us.
