E.P.A. Pulls From the Market a Weedkiller Harmful to Fetuses
It shows the need for government and the need for regulation if we are to have safety in food. Just look at China's experience with inadequate regulation and the dangers to the health safety of the Chinese people with so many chemicals in the air and water that contaminate food supplies. The chemical DCPA or dacthal regulated here is described in this report as used on broccoli, cabbage and onions.
“DCPA is so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately.”
“In this case, pregnant women who may never even know they were exposed could give birth to babies that experience irreversible lifelong health problems.” -Michal Freedhoff, the E.P.A. assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
