Dr. Robert Verne:
[from the tape recorder]
Described as the most potent neurotoxin of the post-World War II age. Used from 1948 to 1956 in pulping processes as a cheap and effective caustic agent that prevents algae from forming on waterlogged timber. It is also known for its mutagenic properties, concentrating in the bodies of fish and plankton-eating crustacea, affecting the fetal development of everything that ingests it. The ratio of toxin to blood level is 30% higher in the developing fetus than in the host. It was discovered, after extensive testing, that it is the only mutagen that jumps the placental barrier, concentrating in fetal blood cells, where it adheres to the DNA and corrupts the chromosomes

Described as the most potent neurotoxin
00:00:02.418 --> 00:00:04.127
of the post World War II age
00:00:04.128 --> 00:00:04.961
Listen
00:00:04.962 --> 00:00:07.339
Used from 1948 to 1956
00:00:07.034 --> 00:00:10.842
in pulping processes as a cheap and effective caustic agent
00:00:10.843 --> 00:00:12.302
That's why they use it because it's cheap
00:00:12.303 --> 00:00:14.221
From forming on waterlogged timber
00:00:14.222 --> 00:00:17.933
It is also known for its mutagenic properties
00:00:17.934 --> 00:00:19.001
concentrating in the bodies
00:00:19.999 --> 00:00:20.977
of fish and plankton eating crustacea
00:00:20.978 --> 00:00:22.001
affecting the fetal development
00:00:22.999 --> 00:00:23.048
of everything that ingests it
00:00:23.481 --> 00:00:25.607
For 20 years it's been pouring into this water
00:00:25.608 --> 00:00:26.483
The ratio of toxin to blood level
00:00:26.484 --> 00:00:28.036
It's in the fish is that it
00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:30.612
And everything that eats the fish
00:00:30.613 --> 00:00:33.999
It was discovered after extensive testing
00:00:33.996 --> 00:00:34.491
that it is the only mutagen
00:00:34.492 --> 00:00:36.827
that jumps the placental barrier
00:00:36.828 --> 00:00:38.495
concentrating in fetal blood cells
00:00:38.496 --> 00:00:39.663
where it adheres to the DNA
00:00:39.664 --> 00:00:41.001
and corrupts the chromosomes
