In some areas of the upper Potomac (I think they meant “Delaware”–ed.) near Delaware City and New Castle, concentrations of benzene, vinyl chloride and chlorinated benzenes are so high that exposure poses an immediate health threat. Elevated levels of these industrial byproducts significantly increase the risks of cancer. Sustained exposure could kill.

This is why regulation is bad. Without regulation, we wouldn’t know about this sort of stuff and would have one less thing to worry about.

Plus all that glowing in the dark would cut down on the cost of lighting.
