Native American tribe's health harmed due to PAH-intake
« on: April 11, 2012, 11:05:53 am »
I have often mentioned the harm to human health done by polycyclic  aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) which are created by cooking as well as being  a known industrial pollutant, present in car-exhaust fumes and tar-pits etc. Here is a study which claims that the health of a particular Native American tribe was greatly harmed as a result of generations of absorbing PAHs from natural bitumen:-

Makes sense to me. I'll read it more thoroughly later this evening.
