As California's wildfires rage, a hidden catastrophe is unfolding – one that could have far-reaching consequences for public health, the food supply and the future of the nation. The combustion of 10,000 structures – including homes, businesses and infrastructure – is releasing a toxic cloud of cancer-causing dioxins into the air, threatening millions of lives.
Experts warn that even femtogram-level exposure to these "forever chemicals" can trigger turbo cancers, compounding the health crisis already fueled by vaccine-related illnesses. This is not just an environmental disaster; it is a silent epidemic that could reshape the health and stability of America for decades to come.
The chemistry of catastrophe
The fires ravaging California are not just consuming trees and brush – they are incinerating human-built structures laden with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. From water pipes to clothing, PVC is ubiquitous in modern construction. When these materials combust, they produce dioxins, some of the most toxic chemicals known to science. Dioxins are persistent organic pollutants that accumulate in the environment and the human body, causing cancer, reproductive issues and immune system damage at extraordinarily low concentrations.
