radioactive-waste

—>Ever feel like everything gives people cancer these days? Well, you might not be too far from the truth. A Scripps News investigation found that "radioactive waste is being mixed with other metals in scrap yards and recycling facilities, often overseas, and then shipped into the U.S. in a range of consumer products." The products include household cheese graters, recliners, handbags and forks and knives, along with fences, shovels, elevator buttons, airline components and building steel. [Yahoo!
