  3. Good article on Red meat cancer risks,

    So now we wonder if NZ has done any (adipose tissue) (flesh) Toxic Chemical (VOC) analysis on NZ Cattle & sheep as Canada’s Ministry of agriculture certainly does???????

    Probably some very ugly facts of high concentrations of (“Volatile organic chemicals”) (VOC’s) contaminant residues) will emerge about our (not so cleangreen) agriculture adipose tissue we actually have here now? Such as some organophosphates, Roundup, drenches, herbicides, pesticides, ect’.

    Abstract

    An assessment of the risks associated with residues of selected insecticides in foods of animal origin was undertaken. The assessment is organized so as to combine information on toxicological hazards with data on exposure to arrive at recommendations for risk management and avoidance. The assessment focuses on dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), heptachlor, and hexachlorohexane (HCH) as being typical of the agricultural insecticides which are of public health concern. The lessons learned from these insecticides are applied to the more general case of pesticide residues in foods of animal origin.

    Abstract

    An assessment of the risks associated with residues of selected industrial chemicals in foods of animal origin was undertaken. The assessment is organized so as to combine information on chemical hazards with data on exposure to arrive at recommendations for risk management and avoidance. The assessment focuses on pentachlorophenol (PCP), polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), several essential minerals, and metallic compounds, particularly mercury, cadmium and lead.

    SECONDLY; air pollution from heavy freight trucks.
    In the news on red meat causes cancer risk, there was also coverage on diesel pollution as being also among the (class A) pollutants that will cause us all cancer too?

    So why is Government (Treasury) advising Government to encourage more freight trucks and shut down most rail????? It is treason of treasury to do this while they know that Diesel pollution from trucks is one of our most toxic cancer causing exposures also advised by WHO.

    1. Diesel Fuel Issues

    The link between diesel exhaust and cancer is nothing new. In fact, back in 1988 the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified diesel exhaust as ‘probably carcinogenic in humans’. But on June 12, 2012 the IARC went one step further, announcing a reclassification to ‘carcinogenic in humans’, with its advisory committee concluding that diesel exhaust is a cause of lung cancer, and causes an increased risk of bladder cancer.
