Is it correct the chlorine is the culprit in creating dioxins during the
bleaching of paper?  I hope that society doesn't do anything drastic
about chlorine.  Before chlorinated water supplies and swimming pools,
bacterial infection was rampant.  Bacterial and microbal infections can
still swiftly cause serious illness and death.  As one afflicted with
an autoimmune disorder, I am chemically immunosuppressed in order not to
be ill; I'd feel quite vulnerable without good, effective disinfectants.
