Uh sure, but what does this have to do with sauerkraut?
Also I specify:

On A2 info at 20 p.m., and tomorrow A2 is shopping at 13:15 p.m. on December 10, farmers and people have lived since 1988, in Bouère and Grez, in Mayenne (Laval) in fields polluted with PCBs, with cows and Charolais oxen with PCB, eaten by everyone since 1988, in Mayenne !!
2 km from a poorly controlled PCB incineration plant, Aprochim, and Séché, (also with Saur water) burning 10000 tonnes per year of pyralene and PCB waste, since 1988, and since January 2011, 11 farmers, farms and land in sequestration, reduced to nothing, prohibited for sale, ruined, dead, forever polluted, oxen sacrificed and rendered, non-decontaminable, lifeless.
PCB in oxen, 10 to 20 times lower standards, than in the past.
Even more polluted workers, working hands in the PCB in the past with clothes, unsuitable gloves, made of paper, hands soaked in the PCB.
Impact effects on thyroid and psychomotor development of children, more others in the longer term,.
Aprochim claims to compensate ???????
And we close the farms, weeping farmers, traumatized, with nothing, more than 20 years after the start !!!
Aprochim is ordered to stop its PCB emissions in less than 2 weeks, otherwise closure.
Certainly other corners of France have pollution that has gone unnoticed or hidden, in the middle of the fields.
Séché "stores 300000 tons of waste in the area.
And one day we will do the same with the dioxins in the wood, having soaked in sea water, burned by all, recovered by the sea as free wood, as I saw on the beaches of the Var, this year, full of floating wood and beaches cleaned by all, happy to recover this free wood, this November, after the huge storm and floods.
This wood full of sea salt, burning with salt chlorine, made of dioxin which is deposited everywhere in neighbors and gardens, giving dioxin fruit in addition to dioxin-polluted lungs.
One day we will evacuate whole cities full of dioxins as well !!

The French do not care about dioxins from the combustion of salted wood but raised in Canada !!

The PCBs are toxic, ecotoxic and reprotoxic (including at low doses as endocrine disruptors), ubiquitous and persistent (half-life from 94 days to 2700 years depending on the molecules5). Their toxicity is reputed to be varied according to their molecular weight (see number of chlorine atoms) and according to the spatial configuration of their molecules. Very fat-soluble, they are part of the contaminants bioaccumulative frequently found in fatty tissue in humans (including breast milk6). They are classified as "probable carcinogens" (IARC group 2A) for hepatobiliary cancers (Liver cancer, Biliary tract cancer, Pancreatic cancer) 7), and PCB 126 has been classified as a definite carcinogen.
Food is the main source of PCB exposure (90% of total exposure, mainly via animal products: fish, meat, eggs dairy product).
PCBs are pollutants frequently found in the environment: near production and disposal sites, on thees places of accidents (breakage or fire of pyralene transformer for example), in sediments over large areas, and therefore in some sewage sludge.
the Swiss canton of Friborg has highlighted contamination of the river by PCBs and / or dioxins emanating from a disused La Pila landfill located in Hauterive on the edge of the river. This former landfill is now forested and apparently houses waste from a capacitor factory. More than 4 landfills of this type have been identified in Switzerland, including a hundred in the canton of Friborg alone000
Endocrine disruptions can also occur in the event of exposure in utero, or of the child or young adolescent to PCBs, these products being "feminizing" agents which can cause genital malformations, alter the normal regulatory function of the endocrine system and have dangerous effects on the male reproductive system, up to possibly infertility (see article Deletion of spermatogenesis,
In the 1980s to 1990s, the deleterious effects of prenatal exposure were confirmed and measured (e.g. height, weight and gestational age40 of the newborn), as were delays in the development of the very young child41, and for delays in the cerebral and intellectual development of the young child42, and it was shown that breast milk is indeed a factor of contamination of infants6 and that transplacental contamination of mother-child also existed6. Cognitive deficits were correlated with PCB contamination in young children42 and it has been shown that breastfeeding, which is usually considered to be favorable for child development43, is one of the causes of contamination6; Child growth and activity are also affected44
A In utero contamination "at levels slightly higher than those to which the general population is exposed", also leaves neurological sequelae, sometimes serious (resulting in particular in intellectual and developmental delay first observed in infants and young children. Several studies46 on school-aged children47 then clearly showed that these effects can persist at school age, in particular by disrupting learning in reading and arithmetic. Prenatal exposure to PCBs is correlated with scores IQ, attention deficit, language and memory impairment (including visual memory48). The delayed developmental effects were already confirmed in monkeys in the laboratory49 and in rats (with - in utero - key periods of vulnerability) ... Similar observations are made in human children; The most exposed children in one of the study panels were three times more likely to have low IQ scores, and they were twice as likely to be "at least two years behind" in terms of reading comprehension.
Significant amounts of PCBs are transferred by breastfeeding from mother to child, but when uterine contamination has occurred, intellectual deficits are clearly associated with transplacental exposure, the mechanisms of which are better understood50, which suggests that the brain development of the fetus is particularly vulnerable to these compounds.
A study conducted by a Swedish team51 compared the carotid thickness of 1.016 people aged 70 with the impregnation of 23 POPs. According to this study, PCB 153, 156, 157, 170, 180, 206 and 209 increase the risk of arteriosclerosis. The most chlorinated PCBs (PCBs 194, 206 and 209) would be the most impacting mainly on the echogenicity (ability to return an echo) of the intima-media of the carotid wall, this measure being used as an early marker of the arteriosclerosis
The emission of dioxins into the air is mainly due to incinerators of household waste, due to incomplete combustion, to the metallurgical and steel industry and to the practice of the scorching of plants due to persistent phytosanitary products (chlorine)
do not burn driftwood (which contains high levels of chlorine from sea salt)
the burning of salt laden wood results in an annual release of 8.6 gTEQ / year to the atmosphere or 4.3 percent of the national total of dioxin and furans emissions
