Simple, but profound words!
Why are those toxic waste sites so dangerous? Because the chemicals were concentrated in a small area.
Dig them up and spread it all over the United States. Heck, divide a single toxic waste dump into 270,000,000 million doses (population of the USA) and I would personally eat the tiny little pill given to me.
Shocking? Or do I actually understand the concept of dosage?
You get the idea....
Oh c'mon, you can't be serious. Perhaps you'd like to take a little plutonium pill to 'dilute' it? With our technology, it'd be fairly easy to neutralize toxins and THEN introduce the resultant substance into the environment. It WOULD cost money though, and of course we don't want to spend ANY money on anything we aren't FORCED to...
Radioactive wastes, well, they aren't so easily "neutralized". Perhaps they should be reprocessed into nuclear fuel, perhaps they should be handled as they currently are. But all the other toxic wastes COULD be reprocessed or neutralized if so desired...
