[quote=Anonymous]I understand saying the pros outweigh the cons but those of you dismissing OP’s concerns are delusional. These prolonged toxic exposures don’t show their effects in a few years (excepting some leukemia and asthma cases). Generally it’s the cancers our kids will get in middle age, the pcos that’s triggered and wreaks havoc when your daughter is 30, the sperm count concerns… When a private school has an organic vegetable garden and practices on toxic turf, it shows they don’t really care about kids’ health. Anyone know how this is being addressed during the high-profile school renovations locally? Luckily, things in Europe are slowly changing.
