Information compiled by Richard Pressinger, M.Ed., Tampa, FL EMAIL FORM LINK - CLICK HERE not required to be tested for causing subtle neurological damage (memory, personality, behavior etc), effects upon the developing brain during pregnancy, immune system effects, autoimmunity and effects upon the brain's primary defense - the blood brain barrier. The majority of information at CHEM-TOX has been attained from research from the University of Florida and University of South Florida Medical Libraries. Every attempt has been made to provide information clearly and accurately - The medical/scientific journal name and date, along with the university and scientists involved in the research are listed with each article. Questions or comments - use our EMAIL FORM LINK CLICK TOPIC BELOW FOR DETAILS Common pesticides used in homes and lawns are now being shown in medical research to accelerate aging of the immune and nervous system resulting in serious health problems years after exposure. Companies which use these chemicals include TruGreen - ChemLawn - Orkin and others. The majority of the public still believes these chemicals are completely tested by the government. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Chemical companies do their own testing and submit the results to the EPA for review - setting up the potential for "selective" reporting. Of significant concern, agriculture and consumer use pesticides are not currently required to be tested for subtle neurological effects (i.e. memory, depression, behavior) - child learning disorders - pregnancy developmental studies and immune system effects (i.e. lower white blood counts - increased infection rates and autoimmunity).

103. THE Vermiculite INSTITUTE--AN AFFILIATION OF VERMICULITE MINING COMPANIES, EXPAN Organized by vermiculite mining companies, processors, and users to promote the many uses of vermiculite and to address concerns about the health and safety of using vermiculite. http://www.vermiculiteinstitute.org

Crude and Expanded Vermiculite VERMICULITE A Web Site Dedicated to the Dissemination of News and Information about Vermiculite and the Vermiculite Industry Developed by The Vermiculite Institute Links to Helpful and Useful Reports and News Releases About Vermiculite Mines in the U.S. today For many years, The Vermiculite Association has been recognized as the international association of companies involved in the vermiculite industry. It is the primary association for miners, expanding companies, and vermiculite consultants throughout the world, and it should continue to maintain this position. And, it should continue to be viewed as the primary voice of the vermiculite industry throughout the world! During the last few years, however, the vermiculite industry in North America has been subjected to continual attacks from well-meaning, but misinformed newspaper and magazine articles and on national television shows. This publicity has prompted new studies and investigations by regulatory agencies like EPA, NIOSH, and OSHA; and it has caused severe economic injury to many small businesses that continue to mine and process vermiculite Because The Vermiculite Association is an international association with many members who have not been affected by this bad publicity, and because it also has members who are being sued as a result of the publicity, it hasn't been willing or able to be as proactive as some might desire or expect. The Vermiculite Institute is being organized to provide a voice to those who desire a more proactive resource.
