What Thailand Can Teach Us About Pesticides
March 8th, 2011 | 
Author: 
A new research project to be carried out in Thailand will test new, improved methods for measuring pesticides in breast milk and infant formula. Little is known about the exposure of infants to pesticides, despite their vulnerability and evidence of widespread dietary exposure among older children and adults. Here Anne Riederer and P. Barry Ryan of the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, talk about why Thailand was chosen as the trial location.

Pervasive Pesticides and Our Children
Background
Although the breast milk testing method will be pilot-tested on samples collected from a cohort of women in Thailand, it should have broad applications in the U.S. Because these chemicals are widely distributed in the food supply, all U.S. infants are potentially expose. A valid method for measuring these compounds in breast milk and infant formula would have a major impact on our ability to evaluate pesticide exposures in early life, contributing to an improved understanding of their longer-term health effects.
This research project is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Bananas and Pesticides (rough draft)
The pesticide, DBCP, is sprayed on bananas in Central and South America. The United States banned the use of DBCP due to the devestating effects it has on the human body. However, the United States still imports bananas from farms in Central and South America that use DBCP. This pesticide can cause any number of health problems, including but not limited to, infertility, birth defects, cancer, skin problems, breathing problems, dizziness, confusion, and even death. The people who work on the banana farms are often unable to work due to the pesticide poisoning and in turn are unable to provide for their families. Many have moved into the city and have created tent cities outside of government buildings in order to protest the use of DBCP and other harmful pesticides on banana farms. They also plead with their governments to provide workers who have been affected by the pesticide with good medical care and financial compensation. This commerical advocates Americans being informed about DBCP and the affects it has on human life. It calls for them to act upon that knowledge through talking with the United States Government about raising pesticide restrictions on banana imports (this would cause foreign countries to reduce the amount of pesticides sprayed on bananas in order to sell them to the United States) and by buying organic bananas. Both of these actions would reduce the demand for pesticide sprayed bananas and would support organic farms.

Taking place in the fictional city of New Detroit, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a completely new game developed by Vicious Cycle that takes on the concept of Earth Defense Force 2017 (Japanese Title “Earth Defense Force 3″ developed by SANDLOT). Insect Armageddon continues to follow the rich history of casual fun and addictive gameplay that made the franchise a cult classic.

The Campaign mode that lets up to three players team up online to battle the insects and aliens across a completely destroyable city. Every EDF soldier is armed with over 150 weapons and four upgradeable armor sets and engages in nonstop arcade action that is the fastest and deadliest in the series. In addition, the game also features a six-player Survival mode that pits a human squad against a nonstop onslaught of the largest enemies the aliens have to offer. New Detroit’s giant bug problem is unavoidable, and mankind’s last hope lies with the Earth Defense Force to defend the world from the insect swarm, even if it means blowing up the entire city as part of the extermination process.
