When we think of something that's toxic, we think of something that's poisonous, that if someone is exposed to it, it can cause a problem. For us, the definition under CEPA is already watered down by the fact that it's only considered toxic if we know people are being exposed to it at a high enough level to cause a problem. We would consider that it's a term that's applicable, and in fact we would think that it needs to be even stronger. We should be dealing with something that is a poison as a toxic substance before we have to find out that people are being exposed to it in high enough levels that it's causing attention.
