Moreton Bay Regional Council's spraying of dangerous chemicals

[Guest guest]

Dear Mayor Sutherland,   Moreton Bay Regional Council       QueenslandDo Council ever listen ?    do Council ever respect a duty of care ?     may I suggest that your " Health and Environment Department "   look at stopping spraying these dangerous poisons around everywhere exposing us all to these potent toxins/neurotoxins, which also end up in the waterways -  in their widespread programs of 'weed killing'  and access chemical-free means of weed control.    The Head of the Dept. Cecily Draper is apparently going to phone me back at some stage about my complaint and I want to make sure by contacting you that this never ever happens again and somebody cares enough to act on it.

I am furious with the MORETON BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL for years we were on their DO NOT SPRAY REGISTER (to stop them spraying the dangerous weed killers in our gutters and street and streets nearby to us) and they have just sprayed this dangerous poison all up and down our street this morning - they just don't care - my neighbours  are also furious as they've been out and hand-dug weeds and also sprayed a chemical-free mixture -and don't want these dangeorus poisons sprayed -  The person I spoke to  (Adam) at the MBRC said they changed their schedule last year- well how

come a do not spray register entry gets removed???? - these poisons

are so dangerous and make me and my chemically sensitive son so ill - horrendous headaches and feel like I'm having a heart attack and feel like I've been hit by a bat - and yes I'd also like to avoid parkinson's disease  and other neurological damage from these neurotoxic

poisons !!! - spent 22 minutes on the phone after the poison spraying  and the fellow  (Adam) told me the team leader of operations will have to get back to me - people should start contacting their councils and tell them they should not be spraying these dangerous poisons around anywhere.   One uninformed ignoramus once said to me that " this stuff is so safe you can drink it "   that is the mentality you are dealing with.   I am furious you cannot escape these poisons even at one's own home!!!  sprayed up and down the streets even with men, women, children, babies and pets walking everywhere and  in shopping centres outside you see the 'poison herbicide sprayers' spraying everywhere - absolute and abysmal failure of duty of care to protect the health and safety of the population (and your 'employed sprayers' no masks or protective clothing either) from these insidious poisons.  Will you ever listen ?  I doubt I'll even get the courtesy of a reply.

Please consider the small amount of information on these dangerous chemicals as hereunder and start to protect the health and safety of the people for a change:-

Brief extract: Over 100 peer reviewed papers have been published by Huber and other scientists on the detrimental effects of glyphosate. Glyphosate increases disease in plants (as well as animals), prompting Huber to write to the Secretary of Agriculture. It may be linked to many health problems in animals and humans, which are an added cost to all the failed promises of a new agricultural technology that would feed the world. As Huber concluded, the “public trust has been betrayed.”    http://www.biosafety-info.net/article.php?aid=873

Glyphosate formulations induce

apoptosis and necrosis in human umbilical, embryonic, and placental cells

We have evaluated the toxicity of

four glyphosate (G)-based herbicides in Roundup formulations, from 10(5) times

dilutions, on three different human cell types. This dilution level is far

below agricultural recommendations and corresponds to low levels of residues in

food or feed. The formulations have been compared to G alone and with its main

metabolite AMPA or with one known adjuvant of R formulations, POEA. HUVEC

primary neonate umbilical cord vein cells have been tested with 293 embryonic

kidney and JEG3 placental cell lines. All R formulations cause total cell death

within 24 h, through an inhibition of the mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase

activity, and necrosis, by release of cytosolic adenylate kinase measuring

membrane damage. They also induce apoptosis via activation of enzymatic

caspases 3/7 activity. This is confirmed by characteristic DNA fragmentation,

nuclear shrinkage (pyknosis), and nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), which

is demonstrated by DAPI in apoptotic round cells. G provokes only apoptosis,

and HUVEC are 100 times more sensitive overall at this level. The deleterious

effects are not proportional to G concentrations but rather depend on the

nature of the adjuvants. AMPA and POEA separately and synergistically damage

cell membranes like R but at different concentrations. Their mixtures are

generally even more harmful with G. In conclusion, the R adjuvants like POEA

change human cell permeability and amplify toxicity induced already by G,

through apoptosis and necrosis. The real threshold of G toxicity must take into

account the presence of adjuvants but also G metabolism and time-amplified

effects or bioaccumulation. This should be discussed when analyzing the in vivo

toxic actions of R. This work clearly

confirms that the adjuvants in Roundup formulations are not inert. Moreover,

the proprietary mixtures available on the market could cause cell damage and

even death around residual levels to be expected, especially in food and feed

derived from R formulation-treated crops.
