There is now simply not enough air, water and soil on earth to absorb man-made poisons without effect. If we continue in our reckless way, this planet before long will become an unsuitable place for human habitation." At Washington University, Commoner now heads the first of a series of environmental health institutes being established at major campuses by the U.S. Public Health Service.
