Post Pollution
Health risks of shipping pollution have been 'underestimated'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/apr/09/shipping-pollution
Quote:
Confidential data from maritime industry insiders based on engine size and the quality of fuel typically used by ships and cars shows that just 15 of the world's biggest ships may now emit as much pollution as all the world's 760m cars. Low-grade ship bunker fuel (or fuel oil) has up to 2,000 times the sulphur content of diesel fuel used in US and European automobiles.

Naturally occurring radioactive material or as the industry calls it "NORM". :o
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_occurring_radioactive_material
Quote:
Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM) consist of materials, usually industrial wastes or by-products enriched with radioactive elements found in the environment, such as uranium, thorium and potassium and any of their decay products, such as radium and radon.


Quote:
Oil and gas TENORM and/or NORM is created in the production process, when produced fluids from reservoirs carry sulfates up to the surface of the Earth's crust.

Quote:
The hazards associated with NORM are inhalation and ingestion routes of entry as well as external exposure where there has been a significant accumulation of scales. Respirators may be necessary in dry processes, where NORM scales and dust become air borne and have a significant chance to enter the body.

Quote:
NORM is not federally regulated in the United States.

Quote:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has jurisdiction over a relatively narrow spectrum of radiation, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has jurisdiction over NORM and has never developed NORM regulations.

:shock:

Background radiation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation
Quote:
Background radiation is the ionizing radiation constantly present in the natural environment of the Earth, which is emitted by natural and artificial sources.

Quote:
The worldwide average background dose for a human being is about 2.4 millisievert (mSv) per year.

The decay of a 14C atom inside DNA in one person happens about 50 times per second, changing a carbon atom to one of nitrogen.

Carbon-14
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-14
Quote:
The above-ground nuclear tests that occurred in several countries between 1955 and 1980 (see nuclear test list) dramatically increased the amount of carbon-14 in the atmosphere and subsequently in the biosphere; after the tests ended, the atmospheric concentration of the isotope began to decrease.
One side effect of the change in atmospheric carbon-14 is that this has enabled some options for determining the birth year of an individual, in particular, the amount of carbon-14 in tooth enamel,[14][15] or the carbon-14 concentration in the lens of the eye.[16]

Frequent above-ground nuclear explosions between the 1940s and 1960s scattered a substantial amount of radioactive contamination.

New Study Finds Flame Retardant in Common Foods
http://www.activistpost.com/2012/06/new-study-finds-flame-retardant-in.html

Quote:
A new study published in Environmental Health Perspectives finds that a common flame retardant can be detected in many popular foods, including fish and deli meats.


Original source
http://ehp03.niehs.nih.gov/article/fetchArticle.action?articleURI=info%3Adoi%2F10.1289%2Fehp.1204993

Quote:
Background: Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a brominated flame retardant used in polystyrene foams in thermal insulation and electrical equipment. The HBCD commercial mixture consists mainly of α, β, and γ stereoisomers. Health concerns of HBCD exposure include alterations in immune and reproductive systems, neurotoxic effects, and endocrine disruption. Previously, stereoisomer specific levels of HBCD have not been measured in U.S. food.

Fluoridation:
Found this post, I can't confirm sources. Im using it as a means of reference to support a thesis. I don't say thesis in a complimenting way though, since common sense is not prior to it.
My counties fluoride level is .78 mg/l

Quote:
Stop the fluoride !

I am not a fluoride proponent at all. However, even fluoride proponents would tell you that your doc probably prescribed the supplements because you don't live in a community that adds fluoride into the public water supply. If he knows you use bottled fluoridated water, he made a HUGE mistake. fluoride supplements are not to be given when a child consumes fluoridated water. Your doc probably assumed you used tap water. You are putting your child at great risk of developing dental fluorosis - white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted enamel

0.8 mg/L means 8/10 of a milligram is in one liter of water (close to a a quart)
It can also be interpreted as 0.8 parts per million (ppm)

Adequate daily intake of fluoride from all sources, according to the
Institute of Medicine, in order to avoid moderate fluorosis, which the
ADA describes as “All tooth surfaces affected; marked wear on biting
surfaces; brown stain may be present:”

· infants up to 6 months old - less than 0.01 mg
· babies from 6 - 12 months - less than 0.5 mg
· children from 1 to 3 years old - less than 0.7 mg
· children from 4 to 8 years old - less than 1 mg


Here's more information

"There is weak and inconsistent evidence that the use of fluoride supplements prevents dental caries [cavities] in primary teeth," according to a systematic review of fluoride supplement research published in the November 2008 Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA).

The authors could find only one study, from China, showing any fluoride cavity-preventing benefit to primary teeth and that study was probably biased with a high withdrawal rate, the authors write.

Mild -to-moderate dental fluorosis (white spotted and/or yellow teeth) is a significant fluoride supplement side effect, they report.

Fluoride supplements, although a prescription drug, were never FDA [Food and Drug Administration] tested for safety or effectiveness because sodium fluoride was on the market pre-1938 before FDA testing laws were enacted. (1)

In 2007, the American Dental Association (ADA) reported on its web site that fluoride supplements put children six and under at significant risk of permanently discolored teeth; but never shared that information with the American public, pediatricians or MD's who still prescribe fluoride supplements to toddlers. (2)

"This review confirmed that, in non-fluoridated communities, the use of fluoride supplements during the first 6 years of life is associated with a significant increase in the risk of developing dental fluorosis, write researchers Ismail & Bandekar and first published in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, February 1999, (3) but posted to the ADA's website July 2007.

Fluoride supplements sought to achieve a similar effect as fluoridation of the water supplies when it was believed that ingested fluoride reduced tooth decay. However, the Centers for Disease Control now reports that fluoride's purported beneficial effects are topical (4). Swallowing fluoride only exposes children to fluoride's adverse health effects ( ), such as dental fluorosis.

"So there is no good reason to swallow fluoride via supplements or the water supply," says attorney Paul Beeber, President, New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc.

Studies link dental fluorosis to children's kidney damage (5) and bone fractures (6).

"While fluoride ingestion is proclaimed a significant cavity reducer, there is no valid science to support that," says Beeber.

Up to 48% of school children sport dental fluorosis, the outward sign of fluoride toxicity, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). (7)

In the Fall 1999 Journal of Public Health Dentistry, dental researcher and former dental journal editor Brian A. Burt, Ph.D., M.P.H., B.D.Sc., University of Michigan Emeritus Professor, writes:

"It is therefore concluded that the risks of using supplements in infants and young children outweigh the benefits. Because alternative forms of fluoride for high-risk individuals exist, fluoride supplements should no longer be used for young children in North America."(8)

Even fluoridated toothpaste hasn't been proven to prevent toddlers' cavities. According to the June 2009 JADA (9) Only one study shows 1,450 parts per million fluoridated toothpaste is effective in primary dentition; but 25 - 35% of the test subjects developed fluorosis although living in a non-water-fluoridated area of England. (10)

Doubts persist about fluoridation also: "It may...be that fluoridation of drinking water does not have a strong protective effect against early childhood caries (ECC) reported Pollick and colleagues in the Winter 2003 Journal of Public Health Dentistry.

Casamassimo and colleagues report in the June 2009 JADA that high levels of ECC persist despite water fluoridation and use of fluoridated toothpaste. (11)

A study in the Fall 2008 Journal of Public Health Dentistry reveals that cavity-free teeth have little to do with fluoride intake. Researchers report, "The benefits of fluoride are mostly topical…while fluorosis is clearly more dependent on fluoride intake."

"Fluoridation began with the untested belief that ingested fluoride prevented tooth decay in small children, only. Evidence-based-dentistry now shows that swallowing fluoride poses dental risks without benefits to the very children fluoridation was supposed to help," says Beeber. Fluoridation must be stopped immediately and parents and physicians must be notified of these new scientific developments."

Post Re: Pollution
I went to my local council meeting to stop water fluoridation.
We got ambushed by the head spokesman trying to character assassinate us, not speak on the scientific evidence and claim this classified CDC toxic waste is not harmful for infants to ingest. Quite amazing.

The art of politics is to stay on the fence with a dialectic until it becomes Binary then they use all their back channeling to figure which way to go.

They are useless and have no power. They are swayed by power.

The head water treatment plant spokesman laughed at his own cover story. Claiming that the fluoridation was legal due to a referendum voted in 1954.

This issue is like DDT of the 21 century. Im planning a class action law suit.

Not only is this a medical crime, its a civil crime as well.

As they are mandating health care without permission.

I agree. Introducing any drug into the air, water, or food supply has to be crime if there is no convenient way to opt out.

Here is some recent work of mine at info wars with water fluoridation.

Im working in two counties. Wake Co. is just throwing the blame on the human service rep (last speaker above). Were putting local pressure on the rep hoping she gives up and puts the blame back on the council. Thats when it gets good.

The Durham Co. council has ordered a sub committee to look over the evidence. Should be interesting.
