In Kenya, environmentalists are worried that an insecticide is being used by farmers to kill lions and other big cat predators. Carbofuran is a very powerful and toxic insecticide. When spread in the soil, it destroys bugs in the ground and is drawn up by plants and kills insects which feed on the sap or [...]

Images captured by Gerd Ludwig illustrate what happens when humanity trashes nature and her environments. Contrary to what some conservative politicians and pundits argue, there must be an aggressive and effective environmental policy that protects our natural landscapes. Protecting our natural landscapes protects civilization and our health. Because of lacking environmental controls or policy,

Knapp 25 Jahre später sind es Venomous Concept die den Geist des ausgeschlachteten HC wiederbeleben und dabei mit “Poisoned Apple” eine beachtliche Reminiszenz in petto haben und [...]

  Two children have died and five other people are seriously ill after eating a cake poisoned with thallium delivered to a soccer club in Baghdad. The cake was delivered to the Air Force soccer club on February 2 by a coach who had left on bad terms and then recently returned, said the club president, Samir Kadham. The club's general secretary, Mohammed Rasool, and its chief administrator, Sattar Ibrahim, took some of the cake home and their families ate it, Mr Kadham said. By the next day, seven members of the two families were ill. Two of Mr Ibrahim's sons died, a 14-year-old and an 18-month-old. The other five were taken to hospital in Amman, where they were diagnosed as suffering thallium poisoning and are gravely ill. Police said the coach who delivered the cake to the club h

Vodka drip saves poisoned Italian, and no hangover Sydney, Australia 10 October 2007 09:11 Australian doctors used an intravenous feed of vodka to keep an Italian tourist alive after he consumed large quantities of a poisonous substance.The 24-year-old man, in an apparent bid at self-harm, had swallowed ethylene glycol, found in antifreeze, which can cause death. Doctors administered pure alcohol, the conventional antidote, but exhausted the hospital's supply.Desperate to continue the treatment the doctors at Mackay Base Hospital in Queensland state hooked up an intravenous feed of vodka, hospital officials said."The patient was drip-fed about three standard drinks an hour for three days in the intensive care unit," Dr Todd Fraser said in a statement on Wednesday."Fortunately for him he was in a medically induced coma for a good portion of that. By the time he woke up I think his hangover would have well and truly gone," Fraser said."The hospital's administrators were also very und

  Last night, David Hasselhoff checked himself into the hospital after a night of binge drinking and partying with large breasted women.  By the end of the night, Hasselhoff had ripped his shirt off screaming, “I can save anybody from drowning!  Where did I park the Delorian!?”  Which was awkward because in Knight Rider he drove a Pontiac Trans-Am named ‘Kit.’  Friends suggested Hasselhoff see a doctor when he attempted to run through the bar in slow motion.  Doctors later explained Hasselhoff had been poisoned by alcohol–not awesomeness.

Because of my post about the pet toys Expertox tested for Consumer reports, I received the following statement, by Wal-Mart Spokesperson Melissa O’Brien, from their online PR firm… “After receiving test reports on Monday from the Web site representative, Wal-Mart began an immediate review and obtained samples for testing. Very quickly, we discovered that there was an error in their reports, incorrectly stating the levels were ‘parts per million,’ when in fact they were measured in ‘parts per billion.’ We contacted the writer and editor to share the error that the forensic toxicologist (not an expert in product testing) had made, and to share that the test reports actually showed levels of lead and chromium were very safe — in fact, more than 100 percent below CPSC and ASTM standards. Since the story claimed the levels were ‘toxic,’ ‘dangerous’ and ‘high,’ we asked for a retraction. At this time, they have refused to retract the story, even a

Story on Sky News are stating that upto 750,000 people in China are dying every year from heavy pollution due to its uncontrollable economic growth and its mass-neglect for its own environment. The article also tells how former village fishermen turned environmentalists are afraid to speak out about the pollution as local government officials threaten to arrest them - and countries such as ours (UK) and other western countries are still clamouring to trade with China, unbelievable!!!

From China to Panama, a Trail of Poisoned Medicine - New York TimesExcerpt:"Toxic syrup has figured in at least eight mass poisonings around the world in the past two decades. Researchers estimate that thousands have died. In many cases, the precise origin of the poison has never been determined. But records and interviews show that in three of the last four cases it was made in China, a major source of counterfeit drugs.Panama is the most recent victim. Last year, government officials there unwittingly mixed diethylene glycol into 260,000 bottles of cold medicine — with devastating results. Families have reported 365 deaths from the poison, 100 of which have been confirmed so far. With the onset of the rainy season, investigators are racing to exhume as many potential victims as possible before bodies decompose even more."http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/world/americas/06poison.htmlAlex

Roxarsone, an arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed, could pose health risks to humans.Roxarsone is the most common arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed, used to promote growth, kill parasites and improve the color of chicken meat. It is normally benign, but under certain conditions that can occur within live chickens or on farm land, the compound converts into more toxic forms of inorganic arsenic.Arsenic has been linked to bladder, lung, skin, kidney and colon cancers, and low-level exposure can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes.A number of food suppliers have stopped using roxarsone, including Tyson Foods, which is the largest poultry producer in the United States. But even so, 70 percent of the 9 billion broiler chickens produced annually in the United States are fed roxarsone.

A new investigation into the death of Indonesia's most prominent human rights activist indicates he was poisoned at Singapore's airport before boarding a plane to the Netherlands, a top detective said Friday. Munir Said bin Thalib, who exposed abuses by the Indonesian army during Suharto's dictatorship, began feeling ill about 40 minutes into the Sept. 7, 2004 Garuda Indonesia flight and his condition quickly deteriorated.Prosecutors earlier claimed the 38-year-old was poisoned on a Jakarta-Singapore flight, the first leg of his journey, but chief detective Bambang Hendarso Danuri said Friday new evidence indicated it happened later. "We are now sure Munir was poisoned (while transiting) at Changi airport," he said, noting that forensic experts in Seattle, Washington said the arsenic in his body "was the S-3 type, which reacts 30 to 60 minutes after intake."

Hey folks,By now you have likely seen some of the national attention our recent report about Bisphenol A (BPA), an ingredient used in plastic bottles and in the lining of food cans, has generated. BPA has been shown to be toxic in low doses, and has been linked to breast and prostate cancer, diabetes and infertility. Pregnant women and infants are most at-risk, and yet there are currently no safety standards established.After a recent report by Environment California and a blog post by Julie Deardorff, the top manufacturers of glass baby bottles have had their supply completely depleted.So, we here at EWG have come up with a plan to make several more glass bottles available, and hopefully raise a few bucks to put toward our continued research and advocacy to keep kids safe from toxic chemicals.Currently listed on Ebay, here, here, here, and here, are gently used, 4-oz glass breastmilk collection and storage bottles made by Lansinoh. They were used by an EWG staffer, who realizes the im

Johnny Depp, with Warner Brothers, is planning to direct a movie based on the story of the poisoned Russian spy, while Columbia films is planning a rival movie that will explore "the collision between the deep rooted Russian power structure enforced by the KGB ... and the new wave of wild west capitalism."

I think they messed up here. January 30, 2007 MOSCOW (AP):The head of a center that trains security personnel and held a competition for Russian special forces confirmed Tuesday that it has used shooting targets showing the photo of a former agent who was fatally poisoned in London last year. However, Sergei Lysyuk, head of the Vityaz Center, said he had been unaware that the photo target showed the poisoned ex-agent, Alexander Litvinenko."The fact that it was Litvinenko, we only found out later from the press," Lysyuk told The Associated Press. "We did not shoot at Litvinenko, we shot at a target."Russian media this week published photographs of Sergei Mironov, head of the Russian parliament's upper house, visiting the center in early November. His visit, to present awards in a competition for Interior Ministry special forces, came about a week after Litvinenko fell ill; one photo shows the Litvinenko target in the background.Lysyuk insisted his company held the contest only as a fav
