Better to stay dirty, unwashed, and gender true then to launder
your boxers and alter your DNA, too!
This article is both frightening in science and bio-chemistry fact
and its aromatic consequences in the mind and nose impact.
*Alarm Over Gender-Bending Chemical*
BY DELTHIA RICKS
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
June 6, 2007
An unusual mix of public health advocates, environmentalists and
laundry workers joined yesterday in a petition demanding that
federal authorities ban a chemical additive found in some household
detergents and other cleaning agents.
The petition, which was submitted to the federal Environmental
Protection Agency, also called for studies of human risks related
to the dirt-lifting agents called nonylphenol ethoxylates, or NPEs.
Studies have shown NPEs to be potent gender-benders, believed to be
responsible for transforming male fish into females in waterways
worldwide. Marine scientists at Stony Brook University say NPEs
are the likely culprit in the decline of male winter flounder in
Jamaica Bay.
The groups calling for a ban of NPEs say the transformed fish may
be "the proverbial canaries in the coal mine," and that human
safety issues have yet to be uncovered.
The E.P.A. had no comment [[Geez, there's a shocker, eh!?]] on the
petition yesterday. European and Canadian regulators have banned
NPEs in domestic laundry detergents and other cleaning agents.
Petitioners, including the Sierra Club, want the E.P.A. to require
appropriate labeling of products with NPEs and to eventually ban
their use in consumer products.
Nearly 400 million pounds of NPEs are manufactured in the United
States annually, petitioners wrote.
"Nonylphenol ethoxylates are in the larger class of chemicals we
refer to as endocrine disrupters. That's the concern," said Dr.
Michael McCally, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based
Physicians for Social Responsibility, a public health advocacy
organization, and one of the petition's signers.
"NPEs ... affect gene expression by turning on or off certain
genes," McCally said.
As a class, endocrine disrupters are known for mimicking the female
hormone estrogen, the reason some marine species have become females.
McCally, a clinical professor of preventive medicine at The Mount
Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, theorizes that medical conditions that
are far more insidious, requiring decades to manifest, could be
caused by endocrine disrupters.
Corporations such as Procter & Gamble removed NPEs from their
products more than a decade ago.
Eric Frumin, health and safety representative for United Here in
Manhattan, a union that represents about 100,000 laundry workers in
North America [CORRECTION: Unite Here is a North American laundry
workers union. The name of the union was incorrect in a story
yesterday. PG. A17 NS, A19 C 6/7/07], is calling for safety studies
involving NPEs. United Here signed the petition submitted to the
E.P.A.
Frumin voiced concern for laundry workers at a Cintas laundry
facility in Central Islip where he said hundreds of uniforms and
other garments are laundered. Cintas Corp. has switched to non-NPE
detergents at its Connecticut facility, Frumin said.
Wade Gates, spokesman at Cintas headquarters in Cincinnati, said
the company's Connecticut facility is the only one nationally where
the detergent has been changed because of state regulations.
