"In just a couple of generations we have accumulated thousands of chemicals that were not there in our grandfathers' and grandmothers' bodies," Wallstrom told a news conference. She helped launch the proposed new chemicals safety law last week, which would mean that tens of thousands of chemicals developed before 1981, and exempt from checks under existing E.U. safety rules, would be reevaluated for safety. Industry has said the proposed rules will cost jobs and has criticized a concentration by environmentalists on what it says are minute traces of chemicals in the body. It also points out many chemicals have been very useful.

3. Children's Unique Vulnerability To Environmental Toxins children further magnify their exposures to toxins in the environment 1) their handto-mouth behavior that are triggered by toxins in the environment require decades to develop http://www.childenvironment.org/factsheets/childrens_vulnerability.htm

Children's Unique Vulnerability to Environmental Toxins Join our mailing list. We will alert you on how to protect your children and family from toxic chemicals. Enter your email address in the field below Science Background Papers for NY TIMES Ads Scientific Endorsers of NY TIMES Ads ... Home Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental toxins. This heightened susceptibility stems from several sources. Children have greater exposures to environmental toxins than adults. Children's metabolic pathways are immature compared with those of adults. As a consequence of this biological immaturity, children's ability to detoxify and excrete certain toxins is different from that of adults. In some instances, children are actually better able than adults to deal with environmental toxins. More commonly, however, they are less able than adults to deal with toxic chemicals and thus they are more vulnerable to them. Children are undergoing rapid growth and development, and their developmental processes are easily disrupted. Many organ systems in young children-the nervous system, the reproductive organs, the immune system-undergo very rapid growth and development in the first months and years of life. During this period, structures are developed and vital connections are established. Indeed, development of the nervous system continues all through childhood, as is evidenced by the fact that children continue to acquire new skills progressively as they grow and develop-crawling, walking, talking, reading, and writing. The nervous system is not well able to repair any structural damage that is caused by environmental toxins. Thus, if cells in the developing brain are destroyed by chemicals such as lead, mercury, or solvents, or if vital connections between nerve cells fail to form, there is high risk that the resulting neurobehavioral dysfunction will be permanent and irreversible. The consequences can be loss of intelligence and alteration of normal behavior.

Toxins In Our Environment Kim N., Medford, MA Is it morally right to dump oil in the ocean, killing thousands of birds and fish? Is it morally right for factories to give off gaseous waste, causing holes to appear in our ozone layers? All of us have somehow contributed to the fact that our ozone layer is slowly being destroyed. When I say this, some people may say, "I don't own a factory that produces harmful waste," or, "I don't have anything to do with rain forests being burned." But, my question to you is, do you use pesticide sprays, hair spray, deodorant spray, or any aerosol spray cans? Do you drive to school or work, take a cab or a bus? If you answer these questions honestly, you will realize that you are also a contributor to our environmental problems. Some say it is too late to help the ozone layer. It is a known fact that because of our mistakes, these holes are heating up the earth underneath the tundra, causing the ice to melt and giving off methane gas. This gas causes the hole to grow bigger. We may not be able to stop the growth, but we can do something. We can get together and help make this process slow down. We can try to make it a brighter day for the children of the future and when we do this, we show our appreciation and respect for the gift we were given. n Teen Ink - PO Box 30, Newton, MA 02461 - (617) 964-6800 - editor@teenink.com

Privacy Policy Toxins in food and the environment Most people would be unaware of the concept of the action of everyday chemicals as 'endocrine disruptors'. Our body reacts to them as if they were hormones produced in us or intentionally taken. They are hormonally active substances which means they can cross placental barriers and may have profound effects on the offspring of animals which ingest them. The types of chemicals that mimic hormones are as diverse as pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, plastics, solvents, and more. Richard M. Sharpe, research physiologist with the Medical Research Council in Edinburgh, hypothesized that estrogens in the environment can disrupt the body's hormonal balance, possibly explaining phenomena such as earlier puberty, lowered sperm counts, and other reproductive anomalies exhibited by late 20th century females and males of many species. "Of all the hormones we know, the estrogens are the most potent. You can get biological effects from estrogen at levels so low you cannot measure them by any analytical method," Sharpe has found through his research. Other environmentalists and scientists postulate effects ranging from behavioral changes to motor, intellectual, and immune system impairment.

CIVITAS Citizens for Planetary Health Coalition to Protect Animals in Parks and Refuges Books and other educational materials Civitas began in the early 1980s as the American branch of CIVIS, Swiss medical historian Hans Ruesch's international anti-vivisection organisation. Civitas published and distributed Mr Ruesch's books in North America. Since then, Civitas has enlarged and has broadened its scope greatly. It steadfastly maintains its commitment to the abolition of vivisection, or animal research. Citizens for Planetary Health represents the growth and expansion of the original, earlier Civitas. "Vivisection Is Scientific Fraud." It always was. It still is. It always will be, as long as it exists. As Civitas progressed rapidly, it didn't take long to learn vivisection is not the only scientific fraud. Other wholesale, wide-scale fraud kills or injures humans and imperils or compromises the global environment in which life exists. Civitas has documented, exposed and proposed reasonable remedies for and solutions to these frauds and their underlying causes. Go there now.

InnerSelf Magazine (enter your email here) Sample Issue by Lynn Tondat Carter T he time may soon come when our spiritual journeys may become blocked by the sheer inability of our bodies and minds to join in. The reason: insidious poisoning by toxic chemicals. How are the effects of these toxins manifested in the body and mind? It is estimated that 60 to 80 percent of all cancers are a direct result of chemicals in our air, water and food. Further, neuroscientists are now studying the role of environmental toxins in the development of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and in mental/behavioral disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and attention deficit disorder. T oxins that directly affect the nervous system are called neurotoxins. Since the nervous system is intricately connected to the immune system, neurotoxins also affect our immune functions. Thus, our very ability to think and feel normally can be drastically affected by exposure to toxins. It does not take a giant leap of logic to realize that we could soon be in such a state of toxic poisoning that we would be unable to "problem-solve" our way out. How serious is the problem? Serious.

ESP is The Innovator in New Construction Termite Prevention Environment Sensitive Pest Control Preventative Treatment For the Control of Wood Destroying Insects and Organisms Senate Bill 365 now requires termite treatment on one and two family residences in municipalities, as outlined in the International Building Code As a result of my thirty-plus years in pest control, we have devised the following pest preventative procedures. The best time to fight insect infestation is to treat the wood as the home or building is being built. When the building is dried in, ESP will power spray the complete interior with TimBor, a borate (Disodium Octoborate Tetrahydrate) solution. This product will penetrate into the wood and leave a long lasting (eons) residual to provide protection against wood destroying insect infestation and fungi. We now are adding a surfactant that will enable the borate to penetrate further into wood. This surfactant is used by lumber mills to kill sapstain. All base plates should be clean of debris for this treatment(s). DOT is a boron compound that penetrates into the wood making it resistant to wood eating insects. Boron is also an essential element needed for out bodies. Since I have been spraying boron, I have no arthritis. This covers the wood treatment for termite warranty purposes. This treatment is recognized by SBCCI and FHA/VA. We have the paperwork required by FHA/HUD and will provide it when necessary.

Billions of dollars are spent each year on pharmaceuticals to treat this rampant disease. However, depression rates remain on the rise. Now, researchers from the University Pathology Consortium are attributing some forms of depression to exposure to toxins present in our food and environment. And we thought it was just the war or the economy! Pollutants in the environment may cause the accumulation of lead, mercury and aluminum. One particular part of the study showed that 47 percent of the participating patients that had dental amalgam fillings reported suffering from major depression compared to the 14 percent in the dental control group. These toxins are also found in makeup, pesticides, mold, and harsh chemical cleaners, which have become more and more present in our country over the last 50 years.
