Are you the stand-in for Russel?

I am all in favour environmental protection, but I don't like that page.
Check the poisons table. Copper compounds cause dioxine? Maybe true for
some compounds, but I don't thing the copper is essential. Potassium
Nitrate causes sulfur-coal compounds? To my best knowledge PN cointains
neither sulfur nor coal. Note that what they claim might actually be
true, but this kind of sloppy presentation does not help the cause.
