Bulletin #612
July 12, 2006
Dear All,
As we mentioned in Bulletin #607, the motion filed by FAN, EWG and Beyond Pesticides to stay the EPA Pesticide Division’s approval of Dow AgroSciences proposal to use sulfuryl fluoride as a fumigant on hundreds of foodstuffs in warehouses and processing plants has been listed in the Federal Register. The public and interested parties have until August 4 to file comments in support of the motion.
On our website
we provide instructions on how you can submit a comment. We also list some talking points to help inform your comments.
Please get as many of your friends, family members, and others to submit a comment. The EPA must see that there are many, many people watching how they handle this issue. If you can get a local environmental group or other civic group (i.e. any group without fluoride in their name!) to make a comment it would be even better.
Also, if you are fluoride sensitive it would be important to explain your symptoms, and how impossible this is going to make your life. Avoiding tap water is bad enough but how are you going to avoid food? You can’t filter lettuce or pizza or powdered eggs!
Finally, if you do not live in the US you may wish to express consternation that this may be setting a nasty precedent for other countries to follow.
Please send us a copy of your comment (or the number of people you have got to do this) to
so we can follow our progress on this.
Many thanks for anything you can do to help on this crucial issue.
