More than 90% of human exposure to dioxins is through the food supply, mainly meat and dairy products, fish and shellfish. Therefore, protecting the food supply is critical. In addition to source-directed measures to reduce dioxin emissions, secondary contamination of the food supply needs to be avoided throughout the food chain. Good controls and practices during primary production, processing, distribution and sale are all essential in the production of safe food.

Regardless of what the companies claim, essential oil vaping devices are not risk-free. The truth is that these devices can be just as harmful as e-cigarettes, as both are introducing foreign substances into the lungs. Like e-cigarettes, essential oil vape pens heat liquids to very high temperatures and users inhale a vapor into their lungs. When heated to such high temperatures, essential oils become volatile organic compounds. The Surgeon General warns that, in low levels, these chemicals can result in nausea and dizziness and, in high levels, can result in death. The health risks of inhaling these chemicals are so high that even essential oil companies warn against vaping their products. Consumers may be led to believe that these pens will aid in tobacco cessation, but no data exists to support their effectiveness as cessation devices. The companies themselves admit that these products are not a replacement for smoking. As is typical with tobacco-related products, essential oil vaping devices offer zero benefit and a mountain of potential harm.
Anaphylaxis is the most severe Type I reaction. Anaphylactic reactions to fragrance molecules are rare. My findings brought up very few documented cases of anaphylaxis resulting from essential oils. One report involved isolated essential oil chemical constituents blended into a perfume during pre-sale testing. A second report was of a nurse assaulted by a patient who sprayed three pumps of an unknown perfume in her face.
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962; second edition 1970; third edition 1996; fourth edition 2012) is a book about the history of science by philosopher Thomas S. Kuhn. Its publication was a landmark event in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science. Kuhn challenged the then prevailing view of progress in science in which scientific progress was viewed as "development-by-accumulation" of accepted facts and theories. Kuhn argued for an episodic model in which periods of conceptual continuity where there is cumulative progress, which Kuhn referred to as periods of "normal science", were interrupted by periods of revolutionary science. The discovery of "anomalies" during revolutions in science leads to new paradigms. New paradigms then ask new questions of old data, move beyond the mere "puzzle-solving" of the previous paradigm, change the rules of the game and the "map" directing new research.[1]
