Great article posted in Time Magazine about the study and findings published March 20, 2019 by BMJ at the end of the article. Increased Meta-Relative Risk of NHL - 41% INCREASE Table 5 includes the results from our two meta-analyses, which included the primary analysis using the most recently updated AHS cohort [24] and the secondary comparison analysis using the original report [19]. Using the updated AHS results [24], we observed a meta-RR of 1.41 (95% CI: 1.13-1.75), which indicates a statistically significant increased risk (41%) of NHL following high cumulative GBH exposure. With the original AHS 2005 cohort results, we observed a meta-RR of 1.45 (95% CI: 1.11-1.91) for NHL. The results did not change appreciably when comparing the fixed effects model to the random-effects model. This is great news!! Make it permanent NOT temporary - Our sea animals and WE need this stopped for our Health - there are alternatives that are NOT poison. The amount being sprayed into our waters is documented on their site and is frightening Jan 23rd, 2019 · by Katrina Elsken CLEWISTON — In response to public complaints and concerns about chemical spraying to control aquatic plants, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission will temporarily suspend the aquatic herbicide spraying program.  On Jan. 23, Ramon Iglesias, who has been active in the movement to halt aquatic spraying, shared a letter online that he received from Kipp Frohlich, Division of Habitat and Species Conservation, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, “I wanted to let you know that beginning next week, I have directed staff to take a temporary pause in our aquatic herbicide treatment program throughout the state. During this pause staff will work to set up meetings where we can collect public comment regarding aquatic plant management. Once we have meetings set up I will be sure you are notified and hope that you will be able to attend. I hope I can also schedule a time when I can meet with you and Ms. Martin while I am in South Florida,” Mr. Frohlich wrote.

Posted on Jan 23 2019 - 3:56am by @SustainablePulse A report published Wednesday by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) has warned about “the presence of different hazardous chemicals in disposable diapers that can migrate into the urine and come into prolonged contact with babies’ skin.”  The list of chemicals is as long as it is disturbing. In total, ANSES identified some 60 chemicals, including glyphosate, the active chemical in Monsanto’s infamous herbicide Roundup.

That has been a fear expressed by some municipalities, faced with the restrictions imposed by bans on the use of toxic pesticides on lawns and gardens in some areas of Canada, particularly in Manitoba and Alberta.  Publicly acceptable levels of weed control can be achieved at reasonable cost without the need for toxic pest control products
