Subject: Re: Plutonium

I tried to type in this chart earlier, but when the editor and modems got
through with it - it was a mess.  I'll try it again.  It's a listing of some

	
HIGHLY* toxic materials...some of which may fall into the "Most Dangerous


Substances On This Planet" hall of fame. 

POISON                 LETHAL DOSE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anthrax Spores            .0001 milligram
Botulism                  .001  mg <according to this chart>
Lead Arsenate          100 mg
Potassium Cyanide      700 mg
Reactor Plutonium     1150 mg  <"over 15 years till time of death">
Caffiene             14000 mg  <I drink 15 to 20 cups a day> 

N. American Coral Snake   .005 mg
Indian King Cobra         .02  mg
Reactor Plutonium         .078  mg <"over 15 years">
Diamondback Rattler       .14  mg 

<INHALED - POISONS>

Nerve gas  <Sarin>       1.0  mg

Mercury Vapor           30    mg
Phosgene                65    mg
========================================================================

This list is far from complete.  There are plenty of other nasty vicious
chemicals in industrial usage every day...some of which happen to be on
railroad cars that go through towns and near houses...
The list of possible carcino gens alone would take up pages and pages.
