Whats the Problem with Pesticides?
By Dr Sharyn Martin, PhD. June 2005 Pesticides have become a part of modern society. There are very few places where pesticides are not used in any form. Indeed those with chronic health conditions such as chemical sensitivity are having an extremely difficult time finding such places to live. The potential for frequent contact with pesticides is high and is resulting in overlapping, cumulative exposures to pesticides that are potentially causing ill health in the community. The evidence that people are being exposed to a range of different chemicals, including pesticides (old, new & banned), can be found in the Body Burden/Monitoring studies being performing in America. These studies are showing that a large number of chemicals (including pesticides) or their metabolites are being found in the human blood and urine.
