'Additionally, these compounds can persist in body fat for very long periods of time following exposure. '

He did some investigating and found there was some sort of toxic dump near the playground these kids routinely played in. He seriously tied the two things together, convinced that something made his kids have diabetes. I found the story interesting and it kind of reminded me of the "Love canal" story.
