Wednesday, May 8, 2002 at 09:30 JST TOKYO ? Polychlorinated biphenyl (PC and dichloro diphenyl trichloro ethane (DDT) levels of up to 40 times the amounts deemed acceptable by Japan have been detected in Norwegian whale meat, Japanese environmental conservation groups said Tuesday, citing a report by Greenpeace in Germany.

As Japan plans to begin again importing whale meat from Norway this year, the groups submitted a request to the Norwegian Embassy in Tokyo for the suspension of Norwegian whale meat exports, and asked the health ministry to adopt more stringent standards with regard to acceptable chemical levels in whale meat.

Of course it is beyond you, deb. Anything that remotely opposed whaling or eating whales is beyond you.

There appears to be a catastrophe unfolding in our Oceans... with a soup of plastic and industrial toxins like PCBs, that are making there way into the entire food chain... leading to a 300% increase in autism and other neuro developmental anomalies that are occurring across species... as well as cancers and impairments to the immune system, from the coral reef polyps on up to the great Orcas... and finally.. to us... sitting at the "apparent" top of the food chain...

Greenpeace has been investigating what appears to be tonnes of nuclear waste and PCBs dumped by the ship load into the Mediterranean Sea, please see: http://EcoDelMar.org/deep_blue_nuc

and please sign our petition at: http://EcoDelMar.org/TakeItBack

telling the manufacturers to "Take Back" there chemical byproducts for recycling or storage, instead of dumping them into rivers / streams / Oceans worldwide...

That's a real good initiative, Larry! Indeed, let those having spilled those deadly chemicals in the sea take it back (and may they suffocate in it, grrr).
