In the real world, each of us carries hundreds, if not thousands, of organochlorines and other toxics in our body tissues. Toxicology is blind to the dangers of carrying this lifetime burden. This is a bad use of science, no matter who is doing it, because the house of science has many rooms, many disciplines. Any discipline, whether geology, health statistics, wildlife biology or hundreds of others, can add to our understanding of how organochlorines in the environment damage humans. Toxicology and epidemiology may provide helpful facts, but we can't bind judgements to that information alone.
More information is needed to come to sound conclusions.
The IJC Commissioners made their 1992 sunset recommendation drawing upon the entire house of science. Based on the weight of the total body of evidence they concluded the level of organochlorines in the environment and in breasts, ovaries, prostates, testicles and other organs threatens people's wellbeing. The surest way of removing the threat is to phase out organochlorine manufacture. If we wish to protect citizens from toxic assault, if we wish to protect generations yet unborn, we have to use all the sciences. We have to base decisions on the weight of all the evidence.
