Take Action to Keep Methyl Iodide out of California Fields
Comment period expires in a week on June 29th
California is on the verge of approving a dangerous carcinogenic gas for use on strawberry fields and other food crops. Methyl Iodide is so toxic that scientists in labs use only small amountsand wear special protective equipment. In fact it's so reliably carcinogenic that it's used to induce cancer in the lab. It's a fumigant so there is a constant threat of it drifting to farm workers and rural communities.
Yet the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) is on the verge of approving its use in the fields. They are doing this despite their Independent California Scientific Review Committee (SRC) issuing a final report (PDF), which found (PDF) that "any anticipated scenario for the agricultural…use of this agent would…have a significant adverse impact on the public health."
Last Thursday a Sacramento hearing was convened by the California Senate Food and Agriculture Committee, where members of the panel testified. Dr. John Froines of UCLA who chaired the committee, said, "This is, without question, one of the most toxic chemicals on earth." DPR does not seem to be listening to the scientists they hired.
Please help. If Methyl Iodide use is approved, this toxic poison can be released directly into California's air. We have to stop this. The DPR is accepting public comments on its proposal through June 28. Please take the time to send an e-mail to the DPR immediately and ask them not to release this toxin into our environment.
There is little to debate about Methyl Iodide's toxicity. It is a known neurotoxin, disrupts thyroid function, damages developing fetuses, and has caused lung tumors in laboratory animals. California already classifies it as a human carcinogen. Fumigating fields with the gas, even with the strictest regulations, would no doubt still result in unacceptable exposures to farm workers and nearby communities.
We have one last chance to stop Methyl Iodide from being used in our fields. Please submit your comment today and tell DPR that we don't want to be exposed to this poison.
