https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea-Spray Well I'm doomed: "Bacillus globigii, never shown to be harmful to people, was released in San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., and along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, among other places" In the 1950s army researchers dispersed zinc cadmium sulfide (now a known cancer-causing agent) over Minnesota and other Midwestern states to see how far they would spread in the atmosphere. The particles were detected more than 1,000 miles away in New York state. No illnesses were ever attributed to them as a result." Between growing up in '50's Minnesota and driving my rig on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, something's gotta give; but I suspect the DDT

mosquito spraying of my youth was a far greater threat...along with radon in all Minnesota basements.

EDIT: actually the DDT wasn't so bad; a lot of hype;http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-truth-about-ddt-and-silent-spring
