In a Denver facility, workers were found to be regularly breathing dangerous dust particles and noxious gases. The revelations of environmental hazards in its own labs plainly embarrassed the EPA.

...wiped out; there has been a lot of extinction. Things have settled down to a degree by now, just because we have lived together for so long. I'll tell you how slow evolution goes.
