Climate Change’s Effect on Indirect Exposure to Agricultural Pathogens/Chemicals
By Linda on Nov 16, 2009 in Toxins | comments(0)
Linda’s comment: Here is proof how deady Agricultural Pathogens and Chemicals are for our bodies. This shows you the importance of eating non-GMO and eating organically. Not just eating but inhalation of particulates or volatiles will fill us with carcinogens. Plus, mycotoxins, microcystin), which further complicates the picture. Where will this all STOP? We need to start speaking up folks. How many of you live near these toxic fields of crops?
This is all the more reason why we need to find a lifelong daily detox. The FIGHT program will address the problems we are faced with from our environment. I can tell the difference, since I have been on the protocol for over a year.

Linda
Effects of Agricultural Chemicals and Pathogens on Human Health
Humans may be exposed to agriculturally derived chemicals and pathogens in the environment (i.e., air, soil, water, sediment) by a number of routes, including the consumption of crops that have been treated with pesticides or have taken up contaminants from soils; livestock that have accumulated contaminants through the food chain; fish exposed to contaminants in the aquatic environment; and groundwater and surface waters used for drinking water. Exposure may also occur via the inhalation of particulates or volatiles, or from direct contact with water bodies or agricultural soils (e.g., during recreation). The importance of each exposure pathway will depend on the pathogen or chemical type (Table 1). The main environmental pathways from the farm to the wider population will be from consumption of contaminated drinking waters and food. In the United Kingdom, vector, aerial, and direct contact pathways are currently of less importance to the general population. Continued
