Many Americans carry toxic pesticides in their bodies Government rated "acceptable" level according to chemical trespass: pesticides in our body and corporate accountability one by pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) and partner groups in more than 20 cities today published Bericht.Analysieren pesticide-related data collected by the U.S. Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) at levels of chemicals in nationwide 9,282 people report that Government and industry to protect of the public health of pesticide have failed exposures shows.
"" None of us select that dangerous pesticides in our bodies, "said Kristin Schafer PANNA and author of the report lead."Still CDC pesticides in 100% of those found both had tested blood and urine. "The average person in this group was a toxic cocktail of 13 of 23 pesticides we analyzed."
Many of the pesticides found in the test subjects were serious short - and long-term health effects, including infertility, birth defects and childhood and adult cancers combined. "While the Government of safety developed separately for each chemical, this study shows that in the real world we several chemicals exposed at the same time", said Margaret Reeves, the PANNA. "The synergistic effects of multiple exposures are unknown, but a growing body of research suggests that even at very low levels, the combination of these chemicals to our health may be harmful."
Chemical trespass found children, women and Mexican Americans shouldered the heaviest "pesticide body last." For example, children are-the population vulnerable to Pestizide--to the highest levels of nerves-damaging organophosphate (OP) pesticides ausgesetzt.Die CDC data show that the average sampled 6 to11 year old that OP pesticide is exposed at four times the level U.S. environmental long-term exposure considers "acceptable" Chlorpyrifos Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). Chlorpyrifos, primarily by Dow Chemical Corporation produced and found in many products such as Dursban ™, designed to kill insects by disorder of the nervous system.Although US EPA chlorpyrifos for most residential applications in 2000 limited to continue it far in agriculture and werden.Beim uses people of chlorpyrifos different settings is a nerve poison and has shown that disrupt hormones and interfere with normal development of the nervous system in laboratory animals.
The report also found that women have scored significantly higher levels of three of the six Organochlorine (OC)-Pestizide. These pesticides are known to cross the placenta during pregnancy with several harmful effects, including interruption of the development of the brain to learning difficulties and other neurobehavioral can cause problems, as young children birth weight reduced. Seriously threatened future generations passed this ability of chlororganic pesticides from mother to child.
Pans analysis showed that Mexican Americans dramatically higher body burdens of five of the 17 evaluated pesticides in urine samples, including a breakdown product of methyl parathion, a neurotoxic, endocrine insecticide tragen.Mexican Americans had also significantly higher body burdens the breakdown products of insecticides lindane and DDT as those in other ethnic groups.
Chemical trespass argues that pesticide manufacturers primarily responsible for the problem of pesticide body burden."Pesticides we carry in our bodies are made and aggressive sponsored by agrochemical companies," said skip Spitzer at PANNA."These companies spend millions on political influence, block or undermine regulatory measures to protect of public health and the environment."The report provides the pesticide trespass index (PTI), a new tool for quantifying responsibility of each pesticide manufacturer for your "pesticide of trespass."The PTI use estimates report that Dow Chemical for at least 80% of breakdown products of chlorpyrifos is found responsible in the bodies of those in the United States
Chemical trespass provides Empfehlungen.Der Congress should investigate, responsibility and liability for pesticides body burdens and financial mechanisms to move should health and environmental costs of pesticides on the companies produce to entwickeln.US EPA pesticides, the known to be dangerous in the environment and our bodies, including immediate phase outs of all uses of Chlorpyriphos and lindane pervasive verbieten.US EPA should also require that the manufacturer shall US EPA should the burden of proof to demonstrate that a pesticide harm not human health before it be registered kann.Arbeiten with the U.S. Department of agriculture, least toxic pest control methods promote. individuals should government officials and businesses, to implement these changes, while searching for alternatives to pesticides and buy organic products pressure as possible.
