Cory Doctorow on Nostr: Many chemicals are carcinogenic if they come into contact with bare skin, or mucus ...
Many chemicals are carcinogenic if they come into contact with bare skin, or mucus membranes, but not if they are - for example - underfoot, in contact with the soles of your shoes. Other chemicals are dangerous when they're fresh and offgassing, but become safe once all the volatiles and aromatics have boiled off of them.
Prop 65 is often presented as a story of *over*regulation, but I think it's a matter of *under*regulation.
