proposed new regulation of nanosilver as a pesticide

[Guest guest]

This information appeared on another list I belong to. I, myself, do not use colloidial silver, and I am not American, but I do believe that this information needs to be widely shared so that concerned individuals may decide to become involved or not. The original sender had wished this information to be widely disseminated for general knowledge.

Cheers,

Act Now to Save Colloidal Silver from EPA Regulation!

Steve Barwick here, for http://www.TheSilverEdge.com

There are only 12 days left to voice your opposition to the proposal for the EPA to regulate nanosilver products -- including colloidal silver -- as "pesticides." EPA is taking public comments until January 20th, after which they will make their decision. We need hundreds or even thousands of readers to let the EPA know that colloidal silver should not be included under these new regulations. As it stands, the main petition sponsor, the International Center For Technology Assessment (CTA) has drawn up a list of nanosilver products http://www.icta.org/nanoaction/doc/CTA%20Petition%20Appendix%20A_nano-silver_product_inventory.pdf

they claim need to be regulated by EPA. And among that list are the four top brands of colloidal silver (Sovereign Silver, Meso Silver, ASAP Silver, Utopia Silver) as well as many lesser known brands. This is clearly a ploy to regulate colloidal silver as a "pesticide" under the EPA's revised FIFRA regulations, which require you to prove your silver product causes no harm to beneficial microorganisms or other creatures in the environment. Please read the articles at http://www.colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com if you have not done so already. And then follow the simple directions for contacting the EPA by email, fax, or through the comments system on their web site, and let them know how you feel about this ploy to regulate colloidal silver (along with other nanosilver products) as "pesticides." If the EPA begins to regulate colloidal silver as a "pesticide" under its revised FIFRA regulations, this will, in effect, unjustly put just about every colloidal silver manufacturer out of business. The costs of proving that a colloidal silver product causes no harm to the environment would be prohibitive (environmental impact reports can cost millions of dollors), and the regulatory burden on colloidal silver manufacturers would be unsustainable. What's more, if the EPA decides to regulate nanosilver (read: colloidal silver) as a "pesticide," even colloidal silver generators and related supplies will no longer be available.

Be sure to do your part by reading the two articles at http://www.ColloidalSilverSecrets.blogspot.com and then following the simple instructions for contacting the EPA to voice your opinion through email, fax or their online comments system.

Thank you, and best regards, Steve Barwick
