A horror story that could happen to us,
By A Customer
This review is from: The poison that fell from the sky (Hardcover)
A chilling account of the 1976 industrial disaster which changed forever the lives of the inhabitants of Seveso, Italy. An explosion at a Hoffman-La Roche affiliated chemical plant, released a deadly cloud containing dioxin, a close relative to "Agent Orange". Details of the event and efforts by authorities and scientists to identify the chemical (with little help from Hoffman-La Roche), made for a gripping book. Fuller recounted the despair and pain of the hundreds of people who lost everything they've build and visited with life-long debilitating conditions, cancers and birth mutations. This book should serve as a warning to us who live with thousands of chemicals, most of which whose effects on the population and the environment are unkown. With profit-orientated industries and lax regulations, there are countless Sevesos waiting to happen.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Poison That Fell From the Sky (Mass Market Paperback)
I had read this book about 30 years ago and wanted it to read again. It is an eye opener if you think about when it was written and the things that have happened since. Government cover ups come out in this book!
