2/2001: In a story in the Los Angeles Times, Marla Cone describes the contamination plight of Orcas (killer whales) living in the Puget Sound off the coast of Washington and British Columbia. Her article describes research by marine mammal contamination expert, Peter Ross, who has discovered that these Orca may be among the most-PCB (Polychlorinated Bipheny) contaminated creatures on earth. The levels of contamination are high enough to expect significant immune system suppression and reproductive impairment. for a brief summary of the article and links to the story at the LA Times: http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/New/newstuff.htm#latimesorca for more on Peter Ross's research: http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/NewScience/wildlife/2000rossetal.htm |
