What????

And, it is time for each person to do his/her best to clear the air. Do not use petrochemical-derived
flavors and fragrances, nor fertilizers and pesticides. Demand accurate labeling. We should be
informed about what chemicals are put into our bodies. And, yes, if we inhale them, they are
certainly in our bodies. So think about that the next time you choose products for your
personal care, your cosmetics, and your cleaning and maintenance projects. Remember to look for
that benign sounding word: FRAGRANCES. When you see it, move on to a safer product
that is not made with petrochemical-derived fragrances . . . or flavors, or pesticides, or fertilizers or
. . . We the people, and the planet we live on, have been inundated with the release to market of
100,000 or so chemicals, which by and large have not been substantiated for safety. I repeat,
It IS time for change! -- barb

  Spring Cleaning
  Do your spring cleaning safely. Did you know cleaning your home can be harmful to
  your health? Many common household cleaners contain toxic
  solvents, fragrances,
  disinfectants, and other ingredients that can pollute the air and cause respiratory, skin,
  and other reactions. Learn about vegetable-based cleaning products you can buy,
  recipes for cleaners you can make at home, and more tips on green cleaning. Before you
  clean out your garage and cart everything off to the dumpster, go to Earth911.org to
  find out where to recycle, donate, and safely dispose of many of your possessions.
  Need to clean up your yard? Choose exercise over emissions: leave the leaf blower behind
  and pick up a rake; forget the gas-powered lawn mower and purchase a manual push or
  electric mower.

• But Roundup is much more damaging and persistent than claimed.
  
  In 1993, the School of Public Health at the University of California found glyphosate
  was the third most common cause of reported illness among Californian farm
  workers, and for landscapers, the highest. The Journal of Pesticide Reform says the
  chemical also damages the ability of soil bacteria to transform nitrogen into a usable
  form for plants and harms fungi that help plants absorb water and nutrients.
  
  Monsanto's own literature says the average half-life of Roundup residues in
  soil and water are 60 and 14 days (in 10 half-lives chemicals decay to benign levels).
  Residues were found in lettuce, carrots, and barley planted a year after the soil
  was last sprayed.
  
  In the State of New York, Monsanto has settled a court case for $50,000 costs and
  agreed to retract advertising claims on the safety and biodegradability of Roundup.
  
  They will no longer say Roundup is safer than table salt, "practically non-toxic" to
  mammals, birds and fish, "biodegradable" and "environmentally friendly". Nor can
  they imply that the risks of chemical cocktails like Roundup are the same as the active
  ingredient, glyphosate,as this ignores the toxicity of so-called "inert" ingredients.

Golf

Common arsenical pesticide under scrutiny
EHP; February 9, 2005
"Golfers can thank monosodium methanearsonate (MSMA) for flawless, weed-free
fairways, but experts are questioning whether the arsenic-containing pesticide is safe for
the environment and human health. New research reveals that, despite industry claims,
MSMA applied to golf courses with certain types of soil degrades to toxic inorganic
arsenic, which leaches into groundwater. A separate study has documented that MSMA
can move through wildlife food chains. The news comes as Canada and the United
States are re-evaluating registrations for MSMA.

"According to the U.S. EPA, MSMA "can reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer in
humans" and is converted in the environment to inorganic arsenic, a known human
carcinogen. About 4 million pounds of MSMA is applied every year to golf courses and
cotton fields in the United States to control weeds. The pesticide has been banned in
India and Indonesia. ..."

      BY JILL KRAMER; Pacific Sun; December 15, 2004
      "... People can now bury their dead at Forever Fernwood in an eco-friendly manner,
      using biodegradable materials. They can also preserve the burial site in perpetuity by
      purchasing a conservation easement planted with a tree, native grass or wildflowers. Of
      course, the old cemetery is still there, and customers can opt for a traditional burial
      there, but the new part will be free of all of the usual stone and bronze markers. It
      will look like-and will be-a nature preserve. A global positioning system will record
      the placement of each burial site. Visitors will be able to walk the grounds with Palm
      Pilot-sized devices that will guide them to the grave and screen a video tribute, if
      one has been made. ..."

      using safer, fragrance-free cleaning products, in the laundry, kitchen and bath, advise against
      air "fresheners" throughout the home and especially in the nursery, reference the use of safer
      cosmetics in the bedroom and the bathroom, I'd believe they were really giving examples of

      By Linda Mason Hunter
      While I've yet to see advice about using non-scented products, this section links out to
      a tip for making your own, safer household cleaners. But purchasing products without scent
      takes some doing, for the words "fragrance-free" and "unscented" on the label do not mean
      that the product is free of synthetic scent. Alas, scents can be used to mask other objectionable
      odors. That practice is OK by the FDA, but it sure is hell on the consumer who must use
      UNscented, truly fragrance-FREE products. -- barb

      polyester and cotton shall be used: make-up, grape juice, spaghetti sauce, blood,

      least 80% of the brightening performance of the standard leading brand product. ..."
      Powdered laundry bleach is the one reference to fragrance-free I could find. But with fragrance
      chemicals now known to be among the VOCs that are common indoor air pollutants, are found

  Spring Cleaning
  Do your spring cleaning safely. Did you know cleaning your home can be harmful to
  your health? Many common household cleaners contain toxic
  solvents, fragrances,
  disinfectants, and other ingredients that can pollute the air and cause respiratory, skin,
  and other reactions. Learn about vegetable-based cleaning products you can buy,
  recipes for cleaners you can make at home, and more tips on green cleaning. Before you
  clean out your garage and cart everything off to the dumpster, go to Earth911.org to
  find out where to recycle, donate, and safely dispose of many of your possessions.
  Need to clean up your yard? Choose exercise over emissions: leave the leaf blower behind
  and pick up a rake; forget the gas-powered lawn mower and purchase a manual push or
  electric mower.

• Defense Science Board Task Force on Persian Gulf War Health Effects,
  Report of the; June 1994
  From Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses
  
  "A. Conclusions
  
  • "There is no persuasive evidence that any of the proposed etiologies caused chronic
    illness on a significant scale in the absence of acute injury at initial exposure. In fact,
    the overall health experience of US troops in Operation Desert Storm (ODS) was
    favorable beyond previous military precedent, with regard to non-combat as well as
    combat-related disease. This remarkably low background has probably put into relief the
    residual health problems that have instigated this inquiry.
    
    
  • " There is no scientific or medical evidence that either chemical or biological warfare
    was deployed at any level against us, nor that there were any exposures of US service
    members to chemical or biological warfare agents in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. We are
    aware of one soldier who was blistered, plausibly from mustard gas, after entering a
    bunker in Iraq during the postwar period.
    
    
  • " The epidemiological evidence is insufficient at this time to support the concept of
    any coherent "syndrome." We do recognize that veterans numbering in the hundreds
    have complained of a range of symptoms not yet explained by any clear-cut diagnosis
    -- a number of cases in many respects resemble the a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"; it
    would be advantageous to coordinate further research on veterans' illness in this
    category with ongoing studies of "CFS " in the civilian population. This is not to deny the
    possibility of service-connectedness, as severe stress, infection and trauma may well
    be precipitating causes of "CFS."
    
    
  • " Much further work is needed, even to verify whether the incidence of
    symptomatic events, beyond the reports of complaints that can be elicited by wide
    publicity, is associated with any specific aspects of ODS experience, or indeed is provably
    different among ODS veterans compared to other armed forces or the civilian
    population. This remark is not to be read as denying service-connectedness, but simply a
    reflection of the tenuous state of the available epidemiological data and the absence
    of controlled surveys and studies."
