They are doing an extended literature review of pesticides ( which I expect to show that pesticides are harmful if you exposed to too much (either in an acute exposure or low levels over extended periods [risk = dose x time])and that studies done in other locales show that if you live near the fields the increase of certain disease processes increase - all that has been proven elsewhere). They are not doing any epidemiological studies specific to Kauai nor any environmental studies that will show the harm to our soils and ecology. So, the best we can hope for is recommendations suggesting specific studies that should be done around areas of concern.

But the problem goes deeper than that. It's becoming almost impossible to have a public debate that involves weighing risks and benefits. Too many people are so sheltered and comfortable that *any* perceived risk is unacceptable to them. <br /><br />I don't know if it'll do any good, but it will be a terrific breath of fresh air to hear the thoughts of the expert groups.Luke Kambichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961053492165298697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-19927113453363565102015-03-30T17:04:51.750-10:002015-03-30T17:04:51.750-10:00Well said...Loved your quote on Ashley, as f she i...Well said...Loved your quote on Ashley, as f she is innocent in the fear mongering.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326435159390354572noreply@blogger.com
