People in rich countries use ten times more water each day than those in poor countries. Environmental Issues Toxins Toxins are chemicals that are harmful to various forms of life. 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. Inorganic Some toxins are inorganic (occurring naturally in the soil, water or air). These include elements like mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals or such compounds as cyanide or ozone. For some organisms, oxygen is toxic.

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. MESSAGE BOARD Environmental issues RESOURCES The dirty dozen list Bush was joined under sunny skies in the Rose Garden By Secretary of State Colin Powell and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Christie Whitman , who expressed elation over the prospect of representing the newly announced U.S. position at next month's Stockholm meeting.

Privacy Policy Absolutely Free: Our Newsletter Special Offers Enter Your Email address: Toxins in food and the environment Most people would be unaware of the concept of the action of everyday chemicals as 'endocrine disruptors'. Our body reacts to them as if they were hormones produced in us or intentionally taken. They are hormonally active substances which means they can cross placental barriers and may have profound effects on the offspring of animals which ingest them. The types of chemicals that mimic hormones are as diverse as pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, plastics, solvents, and more. Richard M. Sharpe, research physiologist with the Medical Research Council in Edinburgh, hypothesized that estrogens in the environment can disrupt the body's hormonal balance, possibly explaining phenomena such as earlier puberty, lowered sperm counts, and other reproductive anomalies exhibited by late 20th century females and males of many species. "Of all the hormones we know, the estrogens are the most potent. You can get biological effects from estrogen at levels so low you cannot measure them by any analytical method," Sharpe has found through his research. Other environmentalists and scientists postulate effects ranging from behavioral changes to motor, intellectual, and immune system impairment.

29. Toxins In Human Milk contaminants and toxins in the environment than babies who are not breastfed . has carefully examined environmental toxins and the risk to chidren. 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.

Even the most pristine wilderness is suffering from the impact of the world's industrial wastes. One of the most important facts that people need to know about is the amount of poisonous chemicals that are sprayed on our food supply. This is done in order to kill insects. By eating these foods we are taking poisons into our bodies on a daily basis. I encourage each person to buy organically grown (unsprayed) produce whenever possible.

Home Page Contact Membership Sponsorship ... Bulletin Board Welcome to our Website ET (Foundation) was set up in 2001 to cater for the lack of developmental and research programs in the field of toxicology.  The intention: to focus on the impact of chemical agents on human health.   It is our view that the relevance of toxicology can no longer be ignored.  As more and more research are pointing towards mounting evidence of structural and genetic damage, potentially caused to the human morphology, through the huge influx of chemical agents found in the air, soil and water today.  Potentially, it is a cumulative effect of many chemical substances which are allowed to build up in our bodily systems, until the optimum operating condition for cell viability is breached, equilibrium break downs and starts to manifest itself in a host of diseases, ailments and syndromes that are known today. Any natural chemical substance can become ‘toxic’ to the human body if it exists in an inappropriate composition and/or quantity and/or 'energy state'.  Oxygen molecules are prime examples.Â

While they've felt the pressures of modern life, many still lead remarkably traditional lives, spending their days hunting for their own food, mainly seals, whales and caribou. But now scientists and environmentalists are saying the food they've always relied on may soon be unsafe to eat. It's contaminated with high levels of some of the world's most dangerous chemicals. They're known as persistent organic pollutants, or POPs, and they're concentrated in Canada's Arctic. They're a concern to Inuit hunters like Meeka Mike and her friend Joshua Kanguk. Most of their lives have been spent out on the land and the sea. Even though there are two grocery stores in Iqaluit, Meeka and Joshua get most of their food from the land. They have no appetite for chips, pop, or chicken wings.
