you must do some research here -y'all
Keywords: pesticide; DNA damage; urine mutagenicity; exposure assessment; UK-POEM http://www.pan-uk.org/projects/Expos...eport%2005.pdf Fatality reported PAN UK traced details of a fatality listed in the PSD results of 2004. It occurred in 2002 after exposure to aldicarb, but it was not clear whether or not it was related. The case was publicised across Scotland in the Sunday Herald newspaper10: the following is an extract. ‘An official investigation into whether a young Scottish farm worker was killed by a highly toxic pesticide had to be abandoned after a university mix-up … Graham Stephen died on May 3, 2002, after he had applied a dangerous pesticide known as aldicarb to a potato crop on a farm near Forfar in Tayside. He was 37. ‘After hearing from police that Stephen could have breathed in the pesticide and that this might have helped cause his death, the procurator fiscal ordered his blood to be screened for aldicarb. Samples were sent to the forensic science laboratories at the University of Glasgow, but were accidentally disposed of after six months before techniques for detecting aldicarb had been developed. The university said the incident was a ‘regrettable accident’… ‘Aldicarb is one of the most hazardous pesticides still licensed for use on farms in the UK. It was one of the pesticides produced at the chemical plant at Bhopal in India where an accident in which poisonous gas was released in 1984 killed 8000 people. Because of the risks aldicarb poses to human health and the environment, the European Union has severely restricted it, but a ban has been resisted in the UK and other countries, by aldicarb’s multinational manufacturer, Bayer CropScience.’ PAN UK comment: companies are required to submit an analytical method as a condition of licensing to the regulators. ~~~~~  this has been clinically studied! OXFORD JOURNAL http://mutage.oxfordjournals.org/cgi...t/full/21/2/93 Q; MY QUESTION IS SINCE THEY HAVE STUDIED IT... they should be able to tell us, which toxins change our DNA... and how once changed -how to help they body de-tox?
