An Ecological Bomb in the Meditteranean: The Ships of Poison - by Michael Leonardi

http://www.counterpunch.org/leonardi01212011.html

"All indicators point to a collusion of forces in this horrific saga of the Ships of Poison, a collusion between SISMI (the Italian secret service), the Italian government, big business, NATO and organized crime families from the Calabrian based crime syndicate L'indrangheta.

Many are now hoping that the opening of the Ilaria Alpi/Miran Hrovatin case will finally bring the truth to light, but this is doubtful.."

Here's another: Melting Arctic ice releasing banned toxins, warn scientists

Quote:
The chemicals seeping out as temperatures rise include the pesticides DDT, lindane and chlordane, made infamous in Rachel Carson's 1962 book Silent Spring, as well as the industrial chemicals PCBs and the fungicide hexachlorobenzine (HCB). All of these persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are banned under the 2004 Stockholm Convention.
