This place, the Diemerzeedijk, is polluted with dioxin, and the page gives some basic info about this poison. Strange thing is that the flora and fauna on this piece of land are of extreme beauty. Especially now, during the months of July and the first half of August. The city of Amsterdam wants to clean it up - destroying all of nature, but not all of the dioxin. There's a list of reader comments attached to the page, where you can add your opinion too. The page is interesting for botanists and environmentalists, also for educational purposes (secondary school). Bye, Marco ------------ >-------------------------------< ------------------------
