Overview
The Myth Of Vulnerable Children
Pesticide-hating activists allege that children are somehow more vulnerable to pest control products.
This is a myth !
Children are merely being used as weapons of coercion and ultimate terrжr in order to promote the conspiracy to impose prohibition against pest control products.
Did it ever occur to anyone that pesticide-hating activists do not know what they are talking about ?!?!
They can only guess since they have NO training, NO education, and NO background in matters concerning pest control products.
Overall, the opinions of these lunatжc-activists are totally valueless and utterly worthless.
These activists have compensated for their lack of expertise by frequently resorting to myths, deceptions, fear-mongering, fraudulent lies, misconceptions, coercion, threats, terrжr, and paranoid conspiracies against pest control products.
――――――――――――――――――――
Let’s review the NONSENSE in the New York Times op-ed by notorious junk scientist goofballs [ lunatжcs ] Phil Landrigan ( Mt Sinai ) and Lynn Goldman ( George Washington University ).
Let’s take the most egregious BS, paragraph by paragraph ― see the segment below.

Children Are NOT More Sensitive / Vulnerable To Chemicals In The Environment
1. Kids More Sensitive To Chemicals ?!?!
According to [ lunatжcs ] Landrigan & Goldman who wrote in the New York Times op-ed ―
In 1993, the National Academy of Sciences reported that children and especially infants in the womb, are profoundly different from adults in how they are harmed by exposure to pesticides and other chemicals. [ ?!?! ]
The academy’s Committee on Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children, of which one of us ( Dr Landrigan ) was chairman, concluded that children are not merely little adults. [ ?!?! ]
They are uniquely sensitive and keeping them healthy requires special protections. [ ?!?! ]
Exposure to even low levels of toxic chemicals during pregnancy, and in the first years after birth, can damage children’s brains and other developing organs, leading to increased risk of learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and breathing and reproductive problems. [ ?!?! ]
Laws and regulations aimed at protecting adult health do not protect children. [ ?!?! ]
The academy committee urged that federal pesticide law be fundamentally restructured to shield infants in the womb and young children from chemical harm. [ ?!?! ]

Response By Juris Dr Steven J Milloy
National Academy Of Sciences
First, let’s address the stolen valor.
The « National Academy of Sciences » and its prestigious members MADE NO SUCH REPORT.
The report was issued by a panel of second- and third-rate scientists put together by the National Academy of Sciences’ For-Hire Consulting Arm called the National Research Council.
――――――――――――――――――――
Response By Juris Dr Steven J Milloy
Children Being Uniquely Sensitive
Second, yes, children are not little adults ― but they are NOT more or « uniquely sensitive ».
For a dose of reality, check out this observation from the American Cancer Society ―
Chemo drugs can cause side-effects.
Children tend to have less severe side effects from chemo than adults, and often recover from side-effects more quickly.
Because of this, doctors can give them higher doses of chemo to try to kill the tumor.
Explore the following link for the American Cancer Society report …
B. American Cancer Society — Chemotherapy For Osteosarcoma
So children CAN TAKE HIGHER DOSES of highly toxic chemotherapy drugs precisely because they are MORE RESILIENT than adults.
Third, when the so-called « National Academy of Sciences » report was issued in 1993, panel chairman Landrigan told the media that there was NO evidence that legally applied pesticides had ever hurt anyone.
I believe his exact quote may be found in what was at the time called the « BNA Daily Environment Report ».

2. Low-Level Exposures Are Harmful ?!?!
According to [ lunatжcs ] Landrigan & Goldman ―
The safeguards for children’s health embedded in these laws are much needed in the United States today. [ ?!?! ]
Air pollution remains a problems, and will worsen if the Trump administration succeeds in increasing coal combustion and relaxing vehicle emission standards.
More than 80,000 chemicals are being used in food packaging, clothing, building materials, furniture, carpets, cleaning products, cosmetics, toys, and baby bottles.
Among children aged 1 to 5, for instance, some 500,000 are estimated to have elevated levels of lead in their blood.
Explore the following link for the New York Times op-ed …
A. A Bad Move That Exposes Kids To Chemicals — Low-Level Exposures Are Harmful — HIGHLIGHTED
As to « air pollution », U.S. air is clean and safe.
NO ONE is harmed in any way by « air pollution ».
As reported by JunkScience, EPA experimented on children by spraying diesel exhaust up the noses of children as young as 10 years with no reported harm.
Explore the following links regarding children …
NOTE ― If anyone thought air pollution was really harmful, such experimentation would be patently illegal. As to lead, except for children who eat lead paint chips, or swallow lead trinkets, or have some other acute exposure to lead, NO CHILD IS HARMED BY LOW LEVELS OF LEAD IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WATER OR THEIR BLOOD. While today, people pee in their pants over any lead detected in children’s blood, the reality is that children have historically relatively high blood lead levels with NO APPARENT ADVERSE EFFECT. Be assured that typical child blood lead levels were higher before the 1970s due to waste incineration and leaded gasoline ― NO HARM WAS OBSERVED OR REPORTED. Consider the following chart from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ― See card below.

Chlorpyrifos Insecticide
According to [ lunatжcs ] Landrigan & Goldman ―
Pre-natal exposure to the INSECTICIDE CHLORPYRIFOS is associated with reduced head circumference at birth, developmental delays, and cognitive impairments. [ ?!?! ]
The regulatory story of this chemical is particularly instructive about the EPA under President Trump.
Last year [ 2017 ], Scott Pruitt, the agency’s administrator at the time, declined to remove CHLORPYRIFOS from the market despite the recommendation of the agency’s own scientists, based on health studies that it suggested it was harming children. [ ?!?! ]
In August [ 2018 ], a federal appeals court ordered the agency to ban the chemical. [ ?!?! ]

Left-wing pesticide-hating enviro-fanatжcs are WRONG ! Pest control products are scientifically-safe, and will NOT cause harm to children. Allegations about the imaginary danger to children are totally false, and are untrue mis-representations designed to alarm and enrage the public for mere money and profit given to anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organizations. The risk assessment of conventional pest control products indicates that they are scientifically-safe, and, when used properly, will NOT cause harm to children, people, animals, or the environment.

Background Information
Fanatжcs Exploit Children
EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN & BABIES ! ― For years, left-wing pesticide-hating enviro-fanatжcs have been despicable in their exploitation of children as weapons of coercion and ultimate environmental terrжr ! These fanatжcs exploit children in order to promote prohibition against pest control products. They exploit children to alarm and intimidate the public into believing that anti-pesticide prohibition is somehow necessary. Even babies have been used to coerce, influence, stifle and intimidate politicians. Babies were forced to function as weapons of coercion and ultimate environmental terrжr. No one wants #@!!% fanatжcs who exploit children and babies as lobbyists !
EXPLOITATION OF BABIES ! ― For example, some enviro-fanatжcs, like Rick Smith, have admitted to exploiting babies to deliberately stifle and silence public debate. In his 2009 book « Slow Death By Rubber Duck », Rick Smith boasts how he organized meetings and photo-ops with rent-a-crowd moms, strollers, and, of course, gurgling, crying and diaper-wetting babies. And then, as Smith blatantly states ― « content with a good day’s work, the babies went home for their afternoon naps ». This confirmed what observers have known for years ― that enviro-fanatжcs, like Rick Smith, routinely stifled and silenced public debate through the use and abuse of babies. Who is Rick Smith ?!?! Rick Smith has operated as a mere hired-gun lobbyist ( a.k.a. paid anti-pesticide & public policy activist ) for organizations like Environmental Defence and New Democratic Party. In view of his acts of subversion, Rick Smith and his organizations DO NOT deserve public support and donations. No one wants #@!!% fanatжcs who exploit babies as lobbyists !
EXPLOITATION OF SICK CHILDREN ! ― For example, some pesticide-hating fanatжcs, like Paul Tukey, are often hypochondriac parents who falsely allege that pest control products are somehow responsible for the poor health of their children. These hypochondriac parents exploit their sick children to validate unproven and non-existent danger with pest control products. They do so to scam and deceive the public into believing that anti-pesticide prohibition is somehow necessary. These fanatжcs know nothing about pest control products ( and raising children ), but knows lots about exploiting their children for mindless, senseless, and fraudulent fear-mongering ! No one wants #@!!% fanatжcs who exploit sick children as lobbyists !

Background Information
Children Are NOT At Risk With Pesticides
Children are in danger because of prohibition ! ― Children are at risk from dangerous pest-infested playing surfaces which are created by #@!!% pesticide bans ! No one wants this #@!!% dangerous ban nonsense that places children at risk !
CHILDREN ARE SAFER WITH PESTICIDES ! ― Left-wing pesticide-hating enviro-fanatжcs are wrong ! Pest control products are scientifically-safe, and WILL NOT cause harm to children. Allegations about the imaginary danger to children are totally false, and are untrue mis-representations designed to alarm and enrage the public for mere money and profit given to anti-pesticide & environmental-terrжrist organizations. The risk assessment of conventional pest control products indicates that they are scientifically-safe, and, when used properly, WILL NOT cause harm to children, people, animals, or the environment.
CHILDREN ARE SAFE ON A PESTICIDE-TREATED LAWN ! ― Leading scientific experts, like Dr Katherine von Stackelberg, say they WOULD NOT hesitate to let their children play on a lawn where lawn care products have been used as long as the products were applied according to label directions.
CHILDREN ARE SAFE WITH 2,4-D ! ― According to another leading expert, Dr James S Bus, there is NO evidence that common lawn herbicides like 2,4-D cause cancer or any health problems in children. Dr Bus has also stated that there is NO regulatory agency in the world that regards pest control products like 2,4-D as a threat to children’s health.
2,4-D IS SAFE FOR KIDS ! ― According to yet another leading expert, Mr William Jordan, Deputy Director, Office of Pesticide Programs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ), parents DO NOT need to worry as long as a pest control product is used correctly. The EPA has spent a lot of time looking at products like 2,4-D, and has concluded that it is SAFE FOR KIDS.
CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE WITH PROHIBITION ! ― Any form of prohibition actually harms children and represents a danger to children ! Because of prohibition, children are forced to play on #@!!% dangerous and pest-infested garbage dumps !
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/carnage-leading-to-garbage-dumps/
https://pesticidetruths.com/toc/carnage-leading-to-garbage-dump-green-spaces-photo-gallery/
CHILDREN CANNOT PLAY BECAUSE OF PROHIBITION ! ― In Hamilton, Ontario, children CANNOT play on the grass because of the proliferation of weeds. In 2007, Hamilton imposed a prohibition against pest control products used in the urban landscape. No one wants this #@!!% dangerous ban nonsense that places children at risk !
CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE PROHIBITION ATTRACTS BEES ! ― In jurisdictions like Wallingford, Connecticut, there is a fear of litigation with pesticide-free playing surfaces which have been infested with weeds, like clover and dandelion, that have been attracting bees. What if children get stung and what if they are allergic ?!?! Clover attracts bees that can harm children and kill people. Clover attracts killer bees. For people who are allergic to bee stings, a sting may trigger a dangerous anaphylactic reaction that is potentially deadly. Additionally, honey bee stings will release pheromones that prompt other nearby bees to attack. No one wants this #@!!% dangerous ban nonsense that places children at risk !
CHILDREN ARE NOT AT RISK FROM PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF ESTABLISHED RE-ENTRY INTERVALS ! ― These intervals are designed to ensure that any remaining pest control product residue on a treated surface DOES NOT pose an unacceptable risk to human health. All pest control products that have assessed & registered for use in the urban landscape require the following Re-Entry Interval ― « Keep people off treated area until foliage is dry ». A Re-Entry Interval is defined as the period of time from application of a pest control product to when entry into a treated area is permitted. A Re-Entry Interval reflects the amount of time required for a pest control product to dissipate ( either from uptake into the plant, or degraded by natural processes ) to a level that is well below any point of concern. Re-Entry Intervals are established using a science-based approach to predict the amount of a pest control product that may be deposited onto the skin from contact with any treated surface. Nonetheless, these products can be used safely because the amount required to affect human health is significantly higher than any potential level of exposure. The impact of pest control products on human health is extensively assessed by Health Canada, prior to their registration, to ensure that these compounds, like other chemicals, such as prescription drugs and vitamins, are safe when directions for use are properly followed.
PESTICIDES ARE SAFE ! ― The risk assessment of conventional pest control products indicates that they are scientifically-safe, and, when used properly, WILL NOT cause harm to children, people, animals, or the environment.
