If you're getting water run-off from your neighbor's chemical-saturated
yard, then yes, you have something to worry about.


Two points to add:

1) If you can't provide enough detail to be interesting, why bother posting
a response, Ms. Ratgirl? (sarcasm assured here) :-)

2) This past spring, NPR ran a story about studies looking into why people
in Japan, who have a relatively low rate of certain cancers, seem to lose
their edge when they (meaning Japanese immigrants in general) have been here
for a generation or two. The easy answer seemed to be diet, but the
scientists interviewed put a lid on that idea for reasons I don't recall.
What they suspect is....guess what? Chemicals.
