Please watch the video below. This is frightening and totally unacceptable. The time for President Obama to get involved is NOW. On Sunday night, someone was using crop dusters to (allegedly- and I only say this because I wasn’t there- although plenty of people were AND took video) spray the water protectors with pesticides- ON PRIVATE TRIBAL LAND. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lCJ9RDCKFM&feature=youtu.be Thank you to everyone who has gone to Standing Rock to help. And thank you to all the actors (including most recently, Neil Young on his 71st birthday) and activists who are using their large platforms to bring attention to this […]
[…]stop growing sugar or mining for phosphorus fertilizer. But the one thing that we can do is stop spraying and killing the filter! So let’s just do that!”1 According to CNN, the FWC declined five requests for interviews or comments. They have also not stated what new ideas they received or when they might be tested. Sadly, for now, the airboats and helicopters keep […]
[…]their information so it can be added to our records. We also add the information to our truck spraying maps in order to avoid spraying those areas as well. Our Mosquito Control uses Trumpet for most aerial adulticiding. Fyfanon is used when spraying in the McClellanville/Awendaw area. Trumpet has the active ingredient of Naled. Trumpet is different because it is a water based product, not an oil. For safety information on Naled, please visit the Environmental Protection Agency website here:https://www.epa.gov/mosquitocontrol/naled-mosquito-control For more information on our Mosquito Control operations, visit our website at http://www.charlestoncounty.org/departments/public-works/mosquito-about.php. Now, you all tell me, is this […]
[…]Journalists Although there was no reported evidence of harm caused to humans by the incident, spraying methyl parathion “would plainly violate” the ban, William Jordan, a former deputy director of EPA’s pesticides office, told POGO in an email. People spraying the pesticide, and likely their corporate employer, “would be liable for the violation.” “Monsanto is the expert at this, so it’s not like some farmer who may not be aware of the law,” added Fred Burnside, a former senior EPA criminal enforcement official. In his opinion, the apparent downgrading of charges by Main Justice in the Monsanto case “is odd […]
[…]being applied to the aircraft’s internal surfaces as well which means that if they aren’t spraying, you and I are still breathing this stuff in. Or ingesting it. Since the spraying began, passengers have reported flu-like symptoms, sinus issues, rash/hives, headaches, and swollen joints- and that’s just some of what’s been reported; far more serious issues like acute respiratory problems and anaphylactic shock have also occurred. But don’t worry, the WHO says there is no evidence that spraying insecticide in enclosed spaces, onto people, is dangerous. The most common pesticides used on airplanes are the synthetic pyrethroids permethrin and d-phenothrin […]
[…]the Zika epidemic is unlikely to stop, so you should protect your family from dangerous aerial spraying or fogging chemicals; get your hands on the spray schedules for your city or neighborhood. As reported by The Institute For Natural Healing, most aerial mosquito spraying occurs in the two hours before sunset and the one after. Make sure to stay inside during these times, and don’t forget to close windows and keep your pets inside. Also, make sure to get clothes and toys inside, and cover sandboxes and swimming pools. If you must be outside, make sure to wear long sleeves […]
[…]Rio Piedras campus, sent City of Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado a letter demanding Miami stop spraying naled. (The letter should have gone to Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, because the county handles mosquito-control spraying.) “We all have heard of the intention to fumigate Miami with naled, and with all due respect, we are starting to see in Florida a repeat of what we went through: Public servants not reading the science that is in front of them,” writes Melendez-Ackerman, who was active in the movement to ban naled in Puerto Rico.” Dr. Elvia Melendez-Ackerman even went on to criticize the U.S. government […]
[…]water and he said it tastes like roach spray. Consequences of Naled Pesticide Exposure When the spraying stopped he immediately went and washed his hands and that’s when the headache started (he described it as more of a headache you get when you have a hangover- you know, when poison is running through your system). The nausea started then, too. While his headache lasted until Monday the nausea stayed until Tuesday. He also had cold-like symptoms. Naled Pesticide Dissipation Dr. Aileen Marty, a Florida International University infectious disease specialist, says that being too close to spraying can be very problematic for […]
[…]track of huge volumes of information. Van Strum provided guidance to others filing suit over spraying in national forests and helped filed another case that pointed out that the EPA’s registration of 2,4-D and other pesticides was based on fraudulent data from a company called Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories. That case led to a decision, in 1983, to stop all aerial herbicide spraying by the Forest Service.” And now, with the advocacy wheels set in motion, her residence became home to more than “100,000 pages of documents obtained through legal discovery in lawsuits against Dow, Monsanto, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Forest Service, the Air Force, and […]
[…]prevent harm from glyphosate to an unpredictable bird or bee flying through the air at the time of spraying. PENDING ASSESSMENTS Surprisingly, the EPA does acknowledge some potential future changes in environmental use. Due to the case Center for Biological Diversity et al., v. United States Environmental Protection Agency et al., the EPA will need to do additional assessments on the impact to endangered species: Although the agency is not making a complete endangered species finding at this time, the mitigation described in this document is expected to reduce the extent of environmental exposure and may reduce risk to listed […]
