No - I think they are likely long dead or very elderly - would be too dangerous for their health! I emailed the information department of one of the "chemical" companies that was allegedly involved. I suspect they won't respond but I want to give them a chance at least. I have also contacted someone to ask if they will send me a copy of a paper on mercury toxicity - sometimes people will send them to you if you ask nicely but obviously people are busy too and they may just think you are a joker trying to scam a free paper!
Thanks! I don't do it for all of them but for the more in depth ones where I don't think they are time sensitive I do. Also if the papers are behind a paywall I've started contacting the university departments directly - sometimes they respond and give you a copy of the paper quite fast. It is harder with older papers because you need to try to find one of the original authors.
That sounds interesting. Are you conducting some sort of interview with a suspect or victim?! lol

That post is up now if you're interested in reading it.
Cool:)
I didn't realising you were going these sort of lengths for your posts. Explains why they are of such high quality.
