Silent pandemic
Learn about one of the most important environmental campaigns in history…. the environmental working group studied cord blood samples and provide evidence that we are in the midst of a silent pandemic.
“Aught to do all we can to minimize exposures”… “industrial pollution begins in the womb”…”women use an average of about 12 personal care products a day and that exposes them to more than 160 chemical ingredients, some of them rather toxic, day after day after day”.
“62,000 chemical were ‘grandfathered in'”
“…found 287 chemicals in just those 10 Americans — 28 different waste byproducts — 47 different consumer product ingredients — most disturbing of all – 212 industrial chemicals and pesticide break down products that had been banned 30 years before… ” in UMBILICAL CHORD BLOOD! Speaking to the silent pandemic.
“babies are born pre-polluted with as many as 300 industrial chemicals in their bodies.” The math shows … “We have more health effects than we have chemicals, why is that? … many of these chemicals have multiple toxic effects.” And, “Only 5 chemicals have been banned or restricted by EPA under the law“! Moreover, “80% of all new chemicals approved within 3 weeks”
There is an “84% increase in acute lymphocytic leukemia“…
The Kid-Safe Chemicals Act (KSCA) of 2008 – “Requires that chemical be safe for CHILDREN and others who are sensitive”. “Assumes chemicals are harming people until PROVEN OTHERWISE“. “Prioritizes SAFETY REVIEWS, BANS, and PHASE-OUTS based on what’s in people and hazardous”. Addressing the silent pandemic.
…historic moment … AN UNPRECEDENTED COALITION!!!
