Capital Casebook Equity No matter that Health Canada's Pesticide Management Regulatory Agency is 30 per cent funded by industry dollars. No matter that it routinely is chastised for its laggard ways, for failing to re-examine old pesticides and take them off the market. No matter that it is often accused of ignoring new evidence of pesticide toxicity.

Equity Mutual Funds How about a little "green-washing"?

Birmingham Contact Equity Chemlawn, one of North America's largest pesticide spraying companies, is now "Greenspace Services."

Private Equity Investment Firm What about obfuscation? The front group formed by the pesticide spraying industry to oppose the recently passed pesticide restriction bylaw named itself the Toronto Environmental Coalition about as close as you can get to the name of the Toronto Environmental Alliance without getting decidedly illegal.

Complying Deal Equity Funds While loudly proclaiming the innocuous nature of chemical pesticides, those who profit from sales of these products carefully skirt the many disturbing issues that have been swept under the table for years :

Equity Msn Private Wyoming The clearly cumulative and synergistic effects of multiple pesticides and other chemicals when taken into the human body; the astonishing sensitivity of the developing human fetus to damage from noxious chemicals, and the rather sordid fact that some of the largest manufacturers of pesticides also make drugs to treat the very cancers that such chemicals probably induce.

American Equity Investment Pesticide proponents ignore damning science.

Equity Index Funds Last year a landmark study from Sweden analyzed data from the National Swedish Cancer Registry linking chemical exposures with cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

Equity Private Team Wyoming The cancer registry data indicated the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma increased annually in Sweden at a rate of 3.2 per cent for men and 3.1 per cent for women between 1971 and 1990. The increase became a decrease between 1991 and 2000, roughly 20 years after the use of a number of chemicals associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including a number of pesticides, was severely restricted.

Equity Group Investment Cancer induction by environmental factors is commonly considered to take about 20 years.

Capital Development Equity The U.S. Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results showed the same pattern. Between 1973 and 1990 the incidence of NHL increased by 3.6 per cent a year. Between 1990 and 1995 the increase was only 1.6 per cent per year, and between 1995 and 1999 NHL incidence declined approximately 20 years after most uses of the chlorophenoxy herbicide 2,4,5-T were banned.

Article Between Difference Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the fifth most common cancer in the United States, with dramatic increases in cases of NHL between 1947 and 1990. The "mother of all pesticides", 2,4-D, was registered in 1945.

Contact Equity Private Wyoming When it comes to children, the story gets frightening and ignoring it looks ever more reprehensible.

Agreement Equity Investment A study published last year in the prestigious journal Environmental Health Perspectives showed that children in Seattle who ate regular food off supermarket shelves had pesticide residues in their bodies six times higher than those in kids fed at least 70 per cent organic foods.

Business Equity Funds Rather than condemning the family physicians' report, responsible pesticide makers and distributors should begin to rethink their strategies.

Private Equity Fund First, they should acknowledge that authoritative health bodies like the college are hardly "alarmist" and admit that what they say merits serious consideration.

Investment Property Home Second, they should openly acknowledge that they're primarily concerned about their bottom line, and stop trying to fool people that they are just plain folks trying to promote common sense.

Managed Equity Funds Finally, they should start retooling their industries to move toward less toxic pest control approaches.
