I wrote her about the fact that picric isn't banned (at least not nationwide). Mary M. Cavanaugh, CIH phone 828.262.6838 email cavanaughmm**At_Symbol_Here**appstate.edu -----Original Message----- So I'm wondering. . . Is anyone interested in contacting Ms. Woodall and pointing out the rampant misinformation and shock-mongering? While the RCRA violations are certainly deplorable, so is the attitude that all chemicals are bad, and that all forms of picric acid are a smoldering crater just waiting to happen.† Of course, even if the point were made, I don't suppose we'd be seeing a public retraction.
