...left Times Beach after the flooding to stay away. He told those who had returned to avoid exposure to soil and debris until new tests were completed. Falk said that scientific studies with animals show that dioxin, an acutely toxic substance that is produced as an unwanted byproduct in the manufacture of herbicides and other chemicals, can have extremely adverse effects on the skin, liver and immune system. Many of the residents attending the session told Falk about persistent rashes and other medical ailments that may be related to dioxin pollution. Said Falk: "It would be difficult to overstate...
...kind of heroism, the stoic, clear-headed kind. Born in Copenhagen and trained at the Royal Danish Ballet School, Martins began dancing with City Ballet in 1967, after Balanchine spotted him as a good partner for Suzanne Farrell. His training for his new job began in 1977 as a byproduct of learning how to create dance. Balanchine guided him closely, even assigning him music.

Agent Orange was a mixture of the herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T that was used as a defoliant during the Vietnam War.

TCDD was present in these herbicides at a concentration of only a few parts per million. (The process has since been "cleaned up" so that TCDD is produced in concentrations of only parts per billion or trillion.) TCDD was not the active ingredient of Agent Orange, as Mr. Solomon states...

The face, stripped of its old layers of makeup, looks more natural. The frame, deprived of some adipose tissue, looks more sinuous. It is a body made for motion: for long, purposeful strides across the backcourt, through the mall...
...Disney World. Mohammad and three brothers followed, and all stayed, according to Princess Hend Al Fassi Aziz, 25, because they liked "the climate and the action." Since then they have squandered perhaps $90 million and become a center of the greedy, glitzy action. The blizzard of cash-a petroleum byproduct, of course-has businesses, philanthropies and local governments scrambling for a share...
