" LONDON (Reuters) - Environmental pressure group Greenpeace called on the British government on Tuesday to ban large rubbish incinerators after a recent study linked them to delays in the sexual developmentof adolescents.
Greenpeace spokesman Mark Strutt told Reuters: "The study found that teenagers living near the incinerators had smaller sexual organs than those in rural areas.
"The boys had significantly smaller testicles than their rural counterparts and the girls were developing later."
There are 12 rubbish incinerators in Britain, mostly in large cities. Two are located in London.
Bodies of teenagers living close to similar burners in the Netherlands during the study were found to contain high levels of toxic chemicals thought to interfere with sexual development and already linked to cancer, heart disease and breathing illnesses. "
I have to say something to our friends here who's from London:

HAHA! I grew up in Macedonia, we don't have an incenirator in the entire country, well we do, but it's nowhere near where I lived. Also interesting to mention is that there are no nuclear powerplants in Macedonia or any other type of radioactive materials, and there has never been a nuclear detonation within a 3000km radius of Macedonia. So in conclusion, mine's a lot bigger than all of y'all's
-------------------- Me- Hi Jen! What's up! Jen- You again??!?! Listen kid, I'm not interested in you. Stop bothering me, I'm a lot older than you and I have a boyfriend. How did you find my ICQ number anyways? Me- Oh, so just cuz you're a movie star now, and you're new album made millions, you think you're too good for me? Jen- Yes!!! Get it thorough your head! I am a person, I am not Jennifer Lopez the hottest woman on earth that everyone wants to sleep with, I'm a person, leave me alone!!! Me- Fine! Be that way! Me- Jen.... Where'd you go.... I love you... please come back.... please....

Yeah, but don't you have rebels and such shooting at each other right now?
Me, I live way out in the countryside. My closest neighbors are turkeys, deer, and owls.
As for 'size' comparisons, well... my Julie calls me Baby Bear, coz I'm "JUST right."

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Please oh please, don't ask such questions again, they will open this topic to the most perverse thoughts and posts you thought possible, and even worse, they'll be about men, not women.

You act like that hasn't happened before... :-)
And my point was that Chernobyl is well within 3000km of Macedonia. And I believe the fallout from it spread over the entire continent. One of the first countries to notice it and start asking questions was Sweden. That's even farther away.

If you don't think Macedonia got a good dose of radiation, check out this series of maps showing the dissipation of the radioactive cloud from the explosion. Pay special attention to the 2.May.1986 map (top of the second column).
