Thread: Paper logs

Know nothing about paper logs, though if you need wood you know where there is heaps of it, you just have to cut it up

I've got access to plenty of wood

The thought was to make logs that stack perfectly (being straight edged), and re-cycle paper which would otherwise go to land fill.

Maybe I'll just stick with the logs

I don't know anything about the institute that published it and have no idea how credible a source it is.

The article contains statements such as, "No credible study to date has shown an increased risk of cancer, developmental disorders, or other illnesses attributable to exposure to "background" levels of dioxins or other organochlorines. Until very recently, even scientific studies of people exposed during industrial accidents to extremely high levels of dioxins failed to find any long-term adverse health symptoms."

I was actually trying to find out if newsprint is still being bleached with chlorine. I know that its use has been significantly reduced.

There usually isn't any "long term" studies because it kills pretty quick, largest source for Dioxins in Australia is Bushfires and Domestic Wood Heaters, see NPI, Regards Frank.
