request for help, information

[Greg Gianas <gianas@earthlink.net>]

I’m writing a series of newspaper and magazine stories, in addition to a

nonfiction book, RETURNING TO HER, which address TCDD contamination in
the U.S. and abroad.

Please help me locate the following:

(1) Reliable sources for documented levels of TCDD in the blood, breast
milk, fat tissue, and soil of Americans living in or near known and/or
suspected-to-be TCDD-contaminated sites.

(2) The highest levels of TCDD measured in TCDD-contaminated Superfund
cites. The EPA tells me that their database cannot extract these data.
Nevertheless, I believe that there are people you may know who have
acquired these documented and verifiable figures.

(3) An EPA list of suspected TCDD-contaminated sites for every state,
except Washington state, which I already have. There are 55 such sites
in Washington state.

(4) The EPA-approved tolerable daily intake of TCDD for every state,
excluding Washington state. My state, Washington, has the highest
allowable daily intake in the industrialized world--80.00 ppt.,
according to Dr. Arnold Schecter’s book DIOXINS AND HEALTH. EPA
officials in Washington state don’t dispute this apparent fact.

(4) The names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of people
who know individuals who have measured levels of TCDD in their blood and

health problems that could be related to TCDD poisoning, as documented
in peer-approved, published research.

Your help will be much appreciated and be recognized or kept anonymous,
whichever you prefer.

If you are quoted in what I write, you will have the opportunity to
remain anonymous and/or approve what I write, before it is published.
That’s the way I’ve produced stories for the past 30 years, to guarantee

not only accuracy but also long-lasting trust.

Respectfully,
