		The toxic chemicals mutate and horribly disfigure young Melvin; the boy grows huge, strong, develops a rich, resonant bass voice that hilariously offsets his unspeakable ugliness, and develops a singular passion for vengeance against the unjust.
		In The Toxic Avenger (and later, in 1986's Class of Nuke 'Em High), the citizens of Tromaville are affected, directly or indirectly, by the proliferation of nuclear waste.
		Some critics have condemned The Toxic Avenger for scenes like these, but everything-from the disgusting special effects to the manic overacting of all involved-is so intentionally overdone and silly, that if you take it as the farce it was intended to be, you'll hardly stop laughing.

		Another study measuring Hg levels from polar bear pelts from the 14th century (comparing them to the same species of bears today) found the animals now have 11 times the mercury of their predecessors.
		Another source of mercury toxicity much closer to home is the use of “silver” amalgam fillings, in use in popular dentistry since the 1800’s.
		Environmental Protection Agency cites that dental clinics here in the US use 34 tons of mercury in an average of 70 million fillings a year (ouch - quick, get me some Novocaine!) This is the third largest remaining use of mercury in the U.S. economy and the single largest source of mercury pollution in water.

	Horror Bob Presents: The Horror Review - Egregious Gurnow's Review of "The Toxic Avenger" (1985)
		Kaufman--setting out to counter a tabloid’s claim that “Horror Film is Dead”--made The Toxic Avenger (or “Toxie” to his fans) which would become, not only a surprising counterculture cult classic set opposite of a Hollywood blockbuster, but the signature of Troma Studios.
		When a prank goes awry, Melvin is hurtled into a vat of toxic waste and the Toxic Avenger (Mitch Cohen) is born: a seven-foot superhero mutant who can intuitively sense evil.
		Such films are satirical counterparts to serious, “bourgeois” cinema (analogous in their relationship as 1970s punk rock was to rock ’n roll) with their gratuitous nudity; excessive gore; unrepentant drug use, deliberately stock, typecast characters; implausible story lines; expendable events and scenes; uneven pacing and special effects; and inconsistent acting.

	Toxic Shock TV - Lloyd Kaufman from Troma Interview
		[LK] Toxie is reminding me of the time when the Toxic Avenger was almost made into a big budget remake, about 20 years ago and we pretty much had broken thru the hymen of the establishment.
		The problem was that the whole franchise, all of the toys and action figures and lunch boxes all of that was dependant upon the big budget remake and that never got made, so everything fell apart.
		New Line had their fingers crossed when they signed the contract and that’s why we had to sue them and that pretty much destroyed the Toxic Avenger for a while and I think it was all for the best, because the remake would have sucked, so its just as well.

		It also produced perchlorate, a toxic propellant ingredient that’s growing infamous for leaving a legacy of water pollution that may threaten the health of millions of people in California and the Southwest.
		Since 1999, a few short years after the perchlorate problem was realized, Gurol and several student researchers have been developing a cleanup method that not only removes the toxic chemical from water supplies, but breaks it down into harmless chloride – the same chloride found in table salt.
		Second, although the resin removes the toxic chemical from the water, it does not destroy it.
