Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 This site has a huge database of studies. Most people are beingpoisoned by toxins from thousands of sources. They are suffering from toxic poisoning from their air, waters, foods,contaminated earth, their allopathic medicines, their household products, etc.and the "government and medical authorities" claim that it is good foryou. All that you have to do is follow their dictum of "trust us, weare the experts". On top of that you almost always pay directly or indirectly for that priviledge of being poisoned (you didn't think that they were going to poison you for free, did you?). For toxic exposures on a long standing and on a wide scale based on misinformation Floride is a biggie. (Misinformation: when our kids or one of our aquaintances does that we call it lying, when government or industry does it, the strongest terms that I hear is misinformation, go figure) http://www.fluoridealert.org/f-pesticides.htmFluoride Action Network (FAN) is an international coalition working toend the fluoridation of public drinking water and to minimize exposureto fluoride. FAN's Pesticide Project began in June 2001. This is the only on-linedatabase dedicated to fluorine and organofluorine pesticides.CHEERS StudyPesticides in the NewsAdverse Health EffectsPFOS-PFOSAbstractsArticles, reportsFederal Register:Active commentsFederal Register:Closed commentsHelpful LinksGood Pesticide Groups and their Publications (new)Glossary for terms used at this siteSearch Pesticide Database:Fluorine and Organofluorine PesticidesEllen Connett, Director, FAN Pesticide ProjectUpdated January 10, 2005* The pesticide project will be unavilable up to January 30Inorganic Fluorine Pesticides:The concern centers on the fluoride ion's toxicity, persistence, andbioaccumulation in humans, wildlife, and soil. The main pesticides are:• Cryolite: (sodium aluminum fluoride) - mainly used on grapes,fruits, and potatoes. EPA allows fluoride tolerances of 7 ppm, exceptfor kiwifruit, which has a residue tolerance of 15 ppm.• Sulfuryl fluoride - The most immediate and important pesticide issueis Sulfuryl fluoride. In the Jan 23, 2004, Federal Register, US EPAannounced its Final Rule for the first-time use of Sulfuryl fluorideas a fumigant on over 40 foods (nuts, dried fruit, rice, wheat,barlet, etc.). On March 22, 2004, FAN and Beyond Pesticides, formallychallenged US EPA's approval of Sulfuryl fluoride for use as afumigant on a wide variety of foods. See press release.• Sodium fluoride. It's main known use is in wood preservatives.However, sodium fluoride is designated as a "List 4 Inert" by US EPAand is approved for use in pesticidal formulations. US EPA treats"Inerts" as confidential proprietary information which means thepublic is denied the right to know which pesticides contain them, oron what crops they are used. "List 4 Inerts" are approved for use inthe US National Organic Program administered by the US Department ofAgriculture (USDA). In 2000, approximately 125 individuals contactedUSDA requesting that the use of sodium fluoride be denied in organicagriculture - all to no avail. Because fluoride accumulates in thehuman body, the public has a right to know all exposure sources.Organofluorine Pesticides: (Organic / Fluorinated)When a carbon atom is covalently bonded to a fluorine atom. Thetoxicity of the organofluorine compound is not due to the release of afree fluoride ion, but to the particular molecular structure of thecompound.
