There’s a cool new way to die in Oklahoma—toxic organic pollutant exposure!
Okay, I wouldn’t exactly call that "new." It’s probably been around for a while, or at least ever since we started spreading literal shit across our fields and crops.
In what feels like the opening scene of a twisted dystopian HBO series—where toxic plumes of organic pollutants drift lazily into towns, coating everything in an invisible layer of hazardous dust and turning residents into mindless, flesh-eating mutant zombies who migrate west to California, leaving death and destruction in their wake—researchers at the University of Colorado have discovered a rare airborne toxin in northwestern Oklahoma that's never before been documented in the Western Hemisphere.
