https://lnkd.in/gn3g2Xat Given Australia's vast approvals for use of these insecticides, you can see the myth making of regulator in plain sight. The myth is they claim to have a central purpose to protect human and environmental health. The reality is they approve an ever expanding inventory of toxic chemicals, using inadequate assessment methodologies, that lack transparency, which result in there being ever greater volumes of pesticides in use, causing ever more off-target exposures, and driving ever more toxic harm. The APVMA undertake no coherent effort to checking their assumptions about risk mitigation are in fact safe. There is scarcely any monitoring. Neonicotinoids appear unsafe for your neurological health, and that of the insect kingdom, and the broader aquatic community of zooplankton. Perhaps mention this to someone, like your MP.

🤔 We've been hearing and talking about pesticides quite a lot lately, and it's left us with a fair few questions and concerns. So we thought we should hear from an expert so we can educate ourselves as much as possible, and find out more about the work that is going into creating legislation that will protect us from harm. ☢️ We're extremely lucky to be joined by world-renowned toxicologist Professor Michael Eddleston for this webinar on Thursday 21st of November at 18:00. It's totally free to attend and you can register here 👉 https://ow.ly/4eCc50U9eyT 🌱 So why do we keep banging on about pesticides? Because we're on a mission to reduce and eliminate their use in urban spaces, via our Your Wild Streets campaign. They don't only harm plants and insects - their impact is felt all the way up the food chain, and these negative effects also harm us humans. 🗓️ Come along to our webinar and learn everything you need to know, including how to join and support our campaign! #Pesticides #Sustainability #UrbanGreenspaces #WildlifeConservation #EnvironmentalHealth #YourWildStreets #EcoFriendly #ProtectNature #LegislationMatters #Webinar

A set of new #Prop65 safe harbor warnings has been approved for #acrylamide in food products. https://lnkd.in/gbe6pG8M The warnings are permitted to include various specific combinations of the following elements: - "WARNING:" "CA WARNING:" or "CALIFORNIA WARNING" in all capital letters and bold print; - "Consuming this product can expose you to acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen formed in some foods during cooking or processing at high temperatures."; - "[The International Agency for Research on Cancer/The US EPA/The US National Toxicology Program] has found that acrylamide is probably carcinogenic to humans."; - "Acrylamide has been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals.”; - "Many factors affect your cancer risk, including the frequency and amount of the chemical consumed."; and - "For more information including ways to reduce your exposure, see https://lnkd.in/gWbfnxq5." #OEHHA #P65 #P65Warnings #ConsumerWarnings #Food

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made significant strides in assessing the health risks associated with #formaldehyde, culminating in the recent release of the IRIS Toxicological Review of Formaldehyde (Inhalation). This important assessment addresses the potential cancer and non-cancer health effects that arise from inhalation exposure to this widely used chemical. In August 2024, the EPA finalized the IRIS Toxicological Review and published the interagency comments on the discussion draft. This release updated key IRIS values for formaldehyde, providing a clearer framework for informing decisions aimed at protecting public health. The procedure started in March 2021 when the EPA updated its list of priority assessments and unsuspended the IRIS Toxicological Review of Formaldehyde. This marked the start of a rigorous process, which included an interagency science consultation initiated in December 2021. By April 2022, the draft Toxicological Review was made available for public comment and underwent external peer review by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). This review was crucial in shaping the assessment and ensuring a comprehensive evaluation. In June 2024, following these collaborative efforts, the EPA submitted a revised interagency science discussion draft for final review. The importance of this process was further emphasized in August 2023, when NASEM released its consensus study report, providing additional recommendations to the EPA regarding the 2022 draft formaldehyde assessment. #Formaldehyde is prevalent in various products, including plywood adhesives, household furnishings, and building materials, significantly contributing to indoor air pollution. The findings from the IRIS review clearly establish the health risks associated with formaldehyde exposure. Given this clarity, there is an urgent need to substitute this substance wherever possible to protect public health. As we move forward, industries and consumers must consider safer alternatives to formaldehyde to mitigate health risks and foster a healthier environment. https://lnkd.in/d8zPht4U #EPA #Formaldehyde #PublicHealth #Toxicology #SaferAlternatives #EnvironmentalProtection
