In Dying from Dioxin, celebrated environmental activist Lois Marie Gibbs sounds the alarm on one of the most dangerous toxic threats of our time. Drawing on newly released EPA findings, Gibbs presents a disturbing portrait of how dioxin contamination?from industrial incinerators, chemical plants, and consumer waste?is devastating public health across the United States. Far from abstract science, dioxin's impacts are grounded in everyday life: cancer clusters, immune system collapse, reproductive disorders, and environmental degradation. Gibbs?known for her pivotal role in the Love Canal movement?writes with clarity and urgency, turning complex science and policy into a call to action for ordinary people. This is not just a book about environmental crisis?it is a practical guide for community organizing and grassroots resistance. With case studies, organizing strategies, and firsthand accounts, Dying from Dioxin empowers readers to confront polluters, demand government accountability, and reclaim control over their health and environments. Comprehensive, accessible, and politically charged, Dying from Dioxin is essential reading for environmental justice advocates and anyone concerned with the hidden costs of industrial society.
