[GreenKeys] Selenium, Death and Deformity

[WB6BLV Central California]

To those who contacted me off-list:

I in no way wish to villify selenium or products made from it.  I can only
tell you that I have visited Kesterson many times and I have a former
student who has studied the deaths and deformities first hand in
considerable detail.  My personal expeience with selenium is:

being declared dying in 1989 after months of severe illness
then undergoing detoxification at UCLA Med Center
 and surviving

yup, I still use selemium rectifiers and photo-resistors in lotta
equipment... no, I dont think 'casual' exposure will kill me.  Do I think
the press over stated the 'problem' at Kesterson?  dunno... I do know the
press has a propensity for over statement, but I also saw Kesterson first
hand...


nuf said?
