Sea of Toxins Exposure to Toxins is Unavoidable, But Why Expose Yourself to More than a Minimum? We live in a sea of toxins. Worldwide, exposure to chemical pollutants continues to increase, resulting in increased contamination of our air, water and food supply. In the developed world wise laws have been passed and often even enforced which have led to reductions in air and water pollution of several known toxins, yet at the same time thousands of new and untested "bio-active" chemicals are being introduced. Likewise, science continues to discover new health threats from existing chemicals, such as endocrine system impairments from estrogen-mimicking pesticides. The petrochemical industry has grown from isolated experimentation a hundred years ago to a multi-billion dollar industry today, from a handful of researchers to thousands of petrochemical producers making millions of tons of both old and new chemicals most of which are toxic. Yet today even individuals who consider themselves generally well-informed are unaware of the many sources of toxins in their immediate environment and the threat they can pose to health. One of the easiest ways to visualize the impact on your own health is to see yourself as a boat afloat in a sea of toxins. If a boat is trustworthy, it can carry a specified load without problem. Good News! If your general health is good, your body can process a certain amount of environmental and other toxins without any apparent problem. (See

Cleaners, Toxins and the Ecosystem A project of the Labour Environmental Alliance Society The Cleaners, Toxins and the Ecosystem Project is the flagship campaign of the Labour Environmental Alliance Society, a project that combines environmental research and activism with basic shop-floor health and safety work. The concept is simple: working with health and safety committees in a number of industrial and institutional work sites, environmental researchers review the ingredients in the cleaning products that are being used to identify those that may be toxic to workers and to the receiving environment. The committees then work with employers and cleaning product suppliers to substitute the toxic cleaners with safer, environmentally-preferable cleaners. Key to the project is the basic right of workers and the community to know what toxins may be in the workplace or the broader environment and to take action to protect both themselves and the ecosystem. Inspired by the Prevent Cancer campaigns of both the Canadian Labour Congress and the Canadian Auto Workers, the campaign was originally conceived following reports from fish plant workers of adverse reactions to cleaning products they were using.

WASHINGTON (CNN) As part of the administration's push to highlight what it says is a responsible environmental policy, President Bush said Thursday the United States will sign a global treaty calling for the elimination of a dozen highly toxic chemicals such as DDT and other pesticides. The treaty, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, is due to be signed by the United States and some 50 other nations late next month in the Swedish capital. "I am pleased to announce my support for the treaty, and the intention of our government to sign it and submit it to the Senate for ratification," Bush said Thursday morning in a short address from the Rose Garden.

Pollutants travel to the fragile Arctic environment from distant regions of the world on air and water currents. The effects are being felt by those at the top of the food chain, such as humans and polar bears, the Norway-based Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme found. Polar bear fat accumulates toxins Toxins such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) build up in the food chain, especially in fatty tissue such as blubber. The fat is a key part of the diet for Inuit in Greenland and Canada, who have among the world's highest exposures to the toxins. Marine mammals and fish are nutritious but also contaminated.

Environment - Toxins by Roy F. Dvorak The environment can be many things to a dog - the back yard, the kennel, the basement, etc. Wherever a dog can go, curiosity follows it and calamity is real close behind. We live about 15 miles east of a nuclear processing factory called Rocky Flats. For that matter so do about 250,000 people and their pets. Rocky Flats had a notorious reputation for leaking radioactive dust into the environment (supposedly they have cleaned up their act). With all of the radioactive "stuff" in the air, everyone and their pets within eye sight of Rocky Flats could be showing the symptoms of some type of disease. We have lived in our home for over 17 years with our Standard Schnauzers and only 1 in 6 has seizures. We can safely say, with 100% accuracy, that Korie’s seizures are not caused by Rocky Flats contaminants. In our back yard we have Russian Olive trees, Cottenless Cottonwoods, pine trees, spreading junipers, apple trees and apples in the fall, plenty of grass, mushrooms when it is damp, many birds, garter snakes, and of course, the puppies favorite, squirrels. There is a garden area too, but that is fenced off. Puppies in the garden do not know the difference between a weed and a new growth of corn. We have a basement where we keep paints, wood stains, cleaning fluids, etc. The puppies are in the basement only when we are down there. During the day, when we are not at home, they are in their crates in our bedroom. At night they sleep on the bed with us. The pups stay in the bedroom in their crates if we go away in the evening.

Xenobiotic substances 12.4 Toxins in the sea - Nature and Environment 2002 content previous next download all indicators in tif- format Source: The National Environmental Research Institute This graph illustrates the concentrations of the toxin tributyltin (TBT/organic tin compounds) in various organisms. TBT is used in paint for ships in order to prevent algae growth on the bottom of ships. TBT accumulates in the food chain. The level of TBT is ten times greater in porpoises than in flounders. Studies of conchs in Danish waters (Horsens Fjord, Øresund and Aarhus Bugt) have shown that female conchs form male genitalia because of TBT contamination. Now, antifouling-coating with TBT may only be used for ships that are longer than 25 metres. The objective is that by 2020, no products on the market may contain chemicals that have particularly problematic impacts on human health and the environment. In the spring of 2003, the EU issued a Regulation on TBT. This Regulation has the so-called TBT Convention enter into force for ships from EU Member States. This means that from 1 July 2003, paint containing organic tin compounds may not be applied to ships registered within an EU Member State. From 1 January 2008, paint containing organic tin compounds may not be on ships calling at EU ports. content previous next

34. Environmental Considerations toxic natural substances one begins to understand just how dangerous our natural environment can be. Many of these and other natural toxins and mycotoxins http://www.vitaletherapeutics.org/vtlenvrn.htm

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN DISEASE Since the vitaletheine modulators are phenomenally potent immune stimulants (as little as attograms/ml or femtograms/kg have biological activity), they probably occur naturally at only minute concentrations. This means that they are particularly vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies , to metabolic imbalance, and to inactivation by environmental toxins. Because of their potential impact upon our immune systems, chemical compounds that resemble certain nutritional substances may be among the most dangerous of the environmental pollutants; these analogues should be avoided until their safety has been firmly established. (Diesel fuel doesn't work well in gasoline cars, even though the two substances resemble each other somewhat, both physically and chemically.) Another way to think of chemical analogues of important natural compounds is as "keys" that will bind in the "lock" (or biological receptor), but not work in the "lock". It is of no small consequence that a presence in the lock (analogue) prevents the right "key" (or natural substance) from functioning. An example of this is the use of omega-methylpantothenic acid to block the utilization of pantothenic acid in man. This analogue, or a pantothenic acid deficiency (a lost key), prevents the usual antibody response to tetanus antigen, i.e., vaccination. Some analogues even can go one step further and bind chemically with the receptor, just as the wrong key can break off in the lock and prevent the "right key" from working until the "lock" is rebuilt or replaced.

Land of the rising toxins: Japan struggles with environment Wednesday, March 10, 1999 By Maggie Suzuki and Rick Davis Species such as the Japanese macaque are routinely killed as "pests," despite their regionally endangered status in Japan. Japan has long been criticized for lagging behind other nations in its commitment to environmental issues. These days, the environment is getting more attention than ever in the Land of the Rising Sun. But a weighty question remains: How much is actually being accomplished? The Law to Control Packaging Waste is a case in point. It's garnered a lot of attention, and on the surface, it appears Japan is taking great strides. Yet critics say that enormous problems remain. Record low prices for waste paper made 1997 yet another crisis year for the recycling industry, which operates on the brink of collapse despite high recycling rates. Stacks of old newspapers and magazines still adorn curbside pickup points on "burnable trash" days, and paper accounts for about 20 percent of Japan's municipal waste. At least half of all aluminum and steel cans are recycled, but the introduction of smaller PET plastic bottles by beverage companies has hindered efforts. Shocking revelations about Japan's environmental problems seem to make the headlines every week. Endocrine disruptors, or "environmental hormones" as they're known in Japan, have churned public debate, as more and more illegal toxic waste dumps and dioxin-spewing incinerators become public knowledge. Extremely high dioxin levels, for example, were discovered in soil near an incinerator in Osaka.

Cyanobacterial Toxins in the Water Environment FR/R0009 March 2004 Summary Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are common members of the plankton of marine, brackish and freshwaters throughout the world. They also occur on rocks and soils and in symbioses with plants and fungi. The cyanobacteria possess a photosynthetic apparatus enabling them to perform photosynthesis as in algae and higher plants. Cyanobacteria have the potential to produce mass populations in natural and controlled waterbodies. Such developments, leading to cyanobacterial blooms, scums and mats, are a common, but not invariable, consequence of eutrophication, the enrichment of waters with plant (and cyanobacterial) nutrients. These large growths and accumulations of cyanobacteria are often aesthetically undesirable since they discolour the water and cause turbidity in recreational and amenity facilities. Furthermore, cyanobacteria are well documented as being able to potentially synthesise a large number of low molecular weight compounds which cause taste and odour problems. These substances often result in complaints regarding recreational and amenity waterbodies and the quality of raw and treated drinking water. Of particular concern are further low molecular weight compounds produced by cyanobacteria, which have been shown to have high toxicity to vertebrates, including mammals. These compounds, termed cyanobacterial toxins or cyanotoxins are largely unnoticed by users of waterbodies, when compared to the problems associated with taste and odour compounds, since the toxins are colourless and odourless.
