If you have maturing oligodendrocytes in your home (found in young humans)... this should be upsetting.

Great work with high throughput developmental screens in cultured cells. This further illuminates the neurodevelopmental toxicity of chemicals from common items in our homes. #chemicaltrespass www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Beyond Pesticides Calls for EPA To Stop Involuntary Exposure to Pesticides from Chemical Trespass - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog Let EPA and Congress know that it must comprehensively eliminate nontarget chemical trespass—protect against all forms of pesticide drift.

As the issue of involuntary #pesticide #exposure via #drift continues, we call on the public to let @EPA & #Congress know that they must STOP this #chemicaltrespass! Extending an inadequate process does NOT constitute #protection. 🛑 #takeaction Blog:

Pesticide Drift or Chemical Trespass Continue Uncontrolled, Despite Successful Litigation - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, March 18, 2022) A 2020 lawsuit related to pesticide drift was resolved on March 8, 2022 in San Joaquin (California) Superior Court with the finding that Alpine Helicopter Services, which specializes in pesticide applications for government and tourism entities, had violated pesticide drift laws and endangered public health and safety. The court further found Alpine liable for damage related to its actions, though penalties in the case, brought by California state prosecutors and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR), have yet to be determined. The case exposes a handful of the many instances of pesticide drift, also known as “chemical trespass,” that occur every year in the U.S. In 2004, Beyond Pesticides covered the issue with Getting the Drift on Chemical Trespass; its monitoring of drift issues is ongoing, as can be seen in its “Pesticide Drift” archives. The long history of nontarget exposure, contamination, and poisoning teaches that drift is a function of pesticide use, but not considered adequately by regulators who allow the marketing of poisons that are known to move through the environment uncontrolled. Cases like the Alpine case highlight a relentless problem associated with the daily use of pesticides. Pesticide drift is any airborne […]

"It is rare that #EPA factors drift into its calculation of harm associated with pesticide use, and it is just as rare for those whose #pesticide applications #drift to be held accountable for the harm it causes.” #chemicaldrift #chemicaltrespass #organic
