First Election of an Openly Gay Pope?

Yesterday, ecoMaine said it took steps to "correct the situation" within 2 1/2 hours.

Their statement: "While vaporized iodine can pose health risks if directly inhaled, it is very unlikely anyone had direct exposure due to the relatively short time the incident occurred..."

PORTLAND (WGME) -- For the second day in a row, mysterious purple vapor is once again billowing from the smoke stack at Ecomaine's waste management facility in Portland. 

The purple vapor was spotted on Thursday and again on Friday. Ecomaine and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection are investigating, but Ecomaine says they believe this was caused from burning trash that contained iodine. 

The CDC says if it's inhaled or comes in contact with the eyes or skin, iodine vapor can be an irritant and may cause stomach pain. 

Long term exposure could lead to insomnia, inflammation of the eyes and nose, bronchitis, tremors, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, and weight loss.

Presumably, they've been doing this for years.

Why would they not know what is going on?
