Rachel,respectfully, spend some time with basic chemistry;there is no
chlorine in organic substances; chlorine and chloride are not then same and
demonizing one by saying the other exists in none of the compounds listed or
by describing what salted roadways do to car bottoms is misleading,
regardless of who wrote what book to prove which pet point. Interesting or
fascinating reading is not always accurate or meaningful, no matter how
convincing.
