Highly Volatile Chemicals and Their Potential Synergistic Reactions

There are more than 80,000 man-made chemicals on the market, approved for use in North America. Several thousand more are submitted for approval each year.

In nearly every case, regulatory organizations are responsible for testing each of these chemicals, individually, for human toxicity.

Not all chemicals that are approved will even go through this process. However, the truly frightening thing about this process is that not one of these chemicals will be tested for how they react with the other 80,000 existing chemicals. Even when they are designed to be combined with other chemicals, are they tested together.

It is well known that chemistry does not take place in a vacuum. The human body itself has become a hodge-podge of these chemicals, often stored in body tissues and fats because the liver simply doesn’t know how to deal with and eliminate these substances. When each new one is added, this unregulated chemistry experiment begins anew, with consequences that people can only imagine.
