Extractions: MSU Extension Service BOZEMAN - - In her book Silent Spring , author Rachael Carson brought the problem of environmental pollution to our attention. Her work spawned public policies designed to help us be better stewards of the land, air and water. But there are pollutants of a different sort that deserve serious concern. In his recent work titled Raising Children in a Socially Toxic Environment , Dr. James Garbarino, director of the Family Life Development Center at Cornell University, cites numerous studies that show evidence of toxic influences in our children s social world. Garbarino, who has spent 30 years studying the effects of violence and abuse on the young, joins many other researchers in asserting that A the social world of children has become poisonous to their development. " " The level of social and cultural poison is higher "

http://www.vitaletherapeutics.org/vtlenvrn.htm

Extractions: 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.

Today more than 70,000 synthetic chemicals are in commercial use with an estimated 1000 new chemicals being introduced each year. Only a handful of these chemicals have ever been adequately tested to determine their effect on humans and other forms of life (full basic data exists for only about 7% of these chemicals).

Extractions: The Cincinnati Enquirer ; Chiquita SECRETS Revealed; May 3, 1998 "At first we had thought it could be the solvent that people were smelling, but approximately 16 to 17 samples were taken outside of the plant for chlorpyrifos and 15 of them turned up positive in fairly high quantities." - Roger Theodoredis, Chiquita executive assigned to investigate the Polymer Plastipak problems By Mike Gallagher and Cameron McWhirter A Chiquita subsidiary is exposing more than 500 men, women and children of Barrio Paris to a toxic chemical that the company knows is spewing from a San Jose factory smokestack in high quantities, internal company records reveal. Chiquita officials in Cincinnati have been aware of the problem for several months, but their efforts to solve it have been unsuccessful, according to company sources and internal voice-mail messages provided the Enquirer by a high-level company source. The plant manufactures plastic bags impregnated with a pesticide called chlorpyrifos. The bags are used to cover bananas ripening on plants to protect them from insects. Community leaders and neighbors in Barrio Paris have complained to the national health ministry that fumes have caused residents - including children and pregnant women - to suffer chronic respiratory problems, blistered skin and other serious ailments. The U.S. EPA classifies chlorpyrifos as a highly-toxic pesticide that is dangerous to humans if inhaled or if it comes into contact with skin for a protracted period of time. According to the EPA, universities and chemical manufacturers, chlorpyrifos can cause delayed nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, loss of use of limbs, lung congestion, paralysis, convulsions, dizziness, mental disorders, blurred vision, chest pain, loss of reflexes and death.

Extractions: The Cincinnati Enquirer ; Chiquita SECRETS Revealed; May 3, 1998 "The one thing that (the Enquirer ) asked me that I hedged on was how much did Chiquita pay you, CI (Conservation International), to do this study. I said I'll have to check, even though I actually know... I don't feel that it's really any of his (the reporter's) business." James Nations, Conservation International By Mike Gallagher and Cameron McWhirter Chiquita uses products with low EPA toxicity classification for mammalian and aquatic life," the company stated to the Enquirer through its attorneys. However, the Enquirer found numerous examples on Chiquita's own list of approved pesticides of products that have been designated by U.S. government agencies as possibly cancerous to humans, or toxic to animals or fish. Those pesticides, all used by Chiquita and its subsidiaries in aerial spraying in Latin America, include: Propiconazole, sold as Tilt: Propiconazole has been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a "possible human carcinogen." According to published documents by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, the pesticide "can cause skin irritation and substantial, but temporary, eye irritation. The petroleum solvent in some formulations can cause a chemical pneumonitis (lung complications) if breathed into the lungs. Prolonged inhalation of vapors may irritate throat and nasal passages and cause central nervous system effects, which can include headache, dizziness, confusion, and nausea. If swallowed, abdominal pain, nausea, gastritis, breathing difficulty, or diarrhea can occur."

According to EPA figures, each year we pour approximately 136 million pounds of pesticides on our homes, lawns and gardens, which amounts to three times more per acre than the average farmer applies. The National Audubon Society notes, remarkably, that most of the wildlife pesticide poisonings reported to EPA result from home use.

http://www.childenvironment.org/factsheets/childrens_vulnerability.htm

Extractions: 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. 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.

Extractions: In response to increasing recognition of the impact of environmental factors on the health of children, Congressman John Porter (R-IL) and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will convene a bipartisan hearing on Children's Environmental Health. Prominent pediatricians, scientists and government officials are expected to emphasize the need for expanded research on the relationship between chemicals in the environment and risks to children's health. They are expected to call for a new, large, multi-year longitudinal study that will systematically examine the impact of early environmental exposures on children's health, among other things.
