In the Modern Era of Chemicals and Toxins SAVE US FROM OUR ENVIRONMENT How the chemicals and toxins around us both indoors and outdoors burden our bodies, can cause us to be chemically sensitive and lead to many serious diseases and premature aging. Leading an Environmentally Healthier Life Style The road to environmental health begins with understanding how chemically and organically generated toxins and other harmful substances all around us can burden our minds and bodies, can cause us to become chemically sensitive and can lead to many serious diseases and premature aging. We need to be considering how to save ourselves from our environment! Chemical Burdens There are many chemicals, toxins and microorganism in the outside air that effect our homes, our food and water supplies, and more important, our health. Most of the pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels; the use of chemical-based materials and products in manufacturing, mining, construction and our homes; the extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and naturally occurring methane gas and mold toxins. Indoor air is compromised by chemical out-gassing from carpets, furniture, building materials, cleaning and bathing supplies, decorative items, scented/perfumed products and other materials we use. The worse the outsides air pollution is, the more we are affected inside. What is most important, is the total load on our body? The chemicals that cause these burdens are ever present in homes, schools and places of work and recreation. Exposure to sudden accidents with or spills of hazardous materials can quickly overburden our immune system’s ability to deal with them.

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. The report was presented at an Arctic environmental conference in the Finish town of Rovaniemi. U.S., Russia should ratify convention banning industrial pollutants: WWF

45. Toxins In Human Milk Babies who are breastfed have lower risk for illness and death from contaminantsand toxins in the environment than babies who are not breastfed. http://www.borstvoeding.com/abon/bf_toxins.html

BORSTVOEDING.COM Toxins in human milk On this page a reference list with literature about toxins in human milk. In The Netherlands, where I live, very often this issue comes up in the media. Many mothers are concerned about a possible toxidity of their milk, and formula producers use this issue in their literature about breastfeeding and artificial baby milk to discourage mothers to breastfeed their babies. However, unlike many research done on this issue, there has never been found any evidence that breastfeeding isn't the preferred way of feeding anymore. The risks of feeding a baby ABM far outreaches the risks of toxins in human milk, if there is any at all. Till short there has never been found any influence of the toxins in human milk on the baby, but recently in a Dutch research there was found some influence: In babies who received high doses of dioxin during their stay in the womb and through human milk, breastfeeding counteracted some of the positive effects on the motoric and neorological skills of the breastfed baby. In other words: breastfed babies who received high levels of toxins, fell back to the level of formulafed infants. But, one of the researchers said in a interview in the Volkskrant (Aug 8, 1996): "Breastfeeding restrains the negative effects on babies from dioxin exposure during the pregnancy". Most influence of the dioxins is during the pregnancy. The toxins pass through the placenta and have impact on mental and psychomotoric development of children.

Systemic Fungal Diseases Introduction The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that indoor air pollution is a major health risk –– indoor air pollutants can accumulate at 2 to 100 times higher concentrations than outdoor pollution. Why is that? Because modern homes have been built to be "leak-proof" –– with tighter seals on our doors and windows. The average person spends 90% of their time indoors, surrounded by a vast array of modern chemicals –– including the glues and coatings on our furniture and walls, the plastic cases on our electronic toys, synthetic fabrics, disinfectants, soaps, perfumes, insecticides, lubricants and more. All these products "breath" out some level of pollution –– as described by the term out–gas Did you see Bill Moyers recent documentary about the chemical industry? It was pretty scary! By the time there have been enough clinical studies to confirm the health risks of any particular substance, it may be too late for the generation of people who have been exposed and are at risk.

Poisons and Toxins: Protecting Your Birds From Danger Gary Gallerstein D.V.M. Adapted From The Complete Bird Owner's Handbook Keeping birds in our home environment presents us with many challenges. Insuring the safety and well-being of our feathered friends is a large responsibility and one that is taken seriously by many of those that enjoy keeping birds as pets. Keep in mind that our homes are not a natural environment for birds and in many ways can be very hostile to them. To keep them from harm one should always monitor their birds when they are out of their cages. The following excerpts are from The Complete Bird Owner's Handbook , Gary A. Gallerstein D.V.M. , Howell Book House, 1994. This excellent book covers all aspects of bird care and health that is essential for both the pet bird owner and avian professional. We wish to thank the author for the permission to present this material to you. Net Pets hopes that you will find Dr. Gallerstein's information as an exceptional reference source in helping to provide a safe environment for your birds. Poisoning Route of Poisoning Ingestion (by mouth) Inhalation (by breathing) Topical (Contact with skin) Suspect poisoning if your bird is sick and you observe: Contact with a known poisonous substance, including chewing or playing with the packaging, exposure to fumes or odors.

Toxins Found in Body of E.U. Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstrom DAVID MILLIKEN / Reuters 7nov03 [Also see European Union Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstrom Shows Tainted Blood - AP 6nov03] BRUSSELS, Belgium—The European Union's environment chief said Thursday her body contained 28 potentially toxic chemicals as she gave a practical demonstration of the case for new safety rules that are opposed by the industry. A blood test on European Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstrom for human-made compounds commonly found in televisions, carpets, furniture, and food highlighted the presence of DDT, a pesticide the E.U. banned from farms in 1983 after it was found to harm wildlife and attack the nervous system. "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.

Release and Potential Impacts of Biological Toxins Bt Genetically-Modified Corn Crops and Biopesticide Application F. Gagné, M. Douville C. Blaise, A. Marineau. St. Lawrence Centre, Environment Canada, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; B. Lachance and G. Sunahara, Biotechnology Research Institute, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Poster Communication Dec01 Abstract There is growing concern about the environmental impacts of products derived from biotechnology. The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produces an endotoxin that is highly toxic to insects from the Coleoptera Lepidoptera and Diptera Funded by Environmental Management of Biotechnology for Regulation and Research, Hull, Québec, Canada. Introduction Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a gram-positive facultative aerobic bacterium normally found in soils. It produces a proteinaceous crystal toxin called -endotoxin that is toxic to insects from the Coleopterus Dipterus and Lepidopterus orders. It therefore becomes possible to use this bacterium to control larvae infestation of crop-eating insects. Furthermore, the gene coding for this protein complex has been recently introduced into corn thereby allowing it to resist against crop-eating insects. This genetically-modified corn, so-called Bt-corn, is currently cultivated in the vicinity of the St-Lawrence River where many metric tons are produced each year. Cultivation of corn in this region is by far the most important culture in terms of biomass production. When these insects ingest the bacterium or leaves of Bt-corn, the crystal protoxin is hydrolyzed by the alkaline environment of the gut epithelium which eventually leads to the death of the insect by enteritis and septicemia.

These neighborhoods have some of the highest asthma rates and lowest birth weights in the nation. Public health begins with surveillance of the problems, Dr. Satcher said, but the U.S. lacks critical data on environmental health and environmental exposure. In an effort to fill in the blanks, CCCEH, whose mission is to prevent environmentally related diseases in children, has been conducting studies on mothers and their babies in the immediate neighborhood of Columbia University which is located in Northern Manhattan. At the conference, CCCEH researchers released preliminary findings of their studies on childhood asthma and cancer as well as child growth and development.

Nearly all chemicals we consider toxins are naturally found in the earth's crust or as a part of ecosystems. Others are human-made. Kinds of Toxins: Biological Some toxins are biological (created by plants and animals). For example, the toxins secreted by poison arrow frogs are deadly to many animals. Black walnut trees put a toxin into the soil through their roots that is harmful to the roots of other plants.

Potential effects on interest features of European marine sites Entry to the marine environment Algal toxins do not enter the marine environment from an external source but are generated during blooms of particular naturally occurring marine algal species. Such blooms have been referred to as toxic algal blooms, harmful algal blooms (HABs) and red tides. For example Gyrodiunium aureolum causes a red discolouration of the water (a red tide) and has been associated with shellfish and fish mortalities, particularly in marine fish farms. Chaetoceros , another alga, has spines which can physically clog and damage fish gills, leading to the death of cage-reared salmon and other species. Other algal species, such as
