Safety of Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids Questioned |
|
According a report published by
the U.S. Centre for Public Integrity, in the ten years to 2007, there was a 300
percent increase in reported human health problems related to the use of
pyrethrin and pyrethroid pesticides.
This finding is based on an analysis of adverse reaction reports filed
with the EPA by pesticide manufacturers and appears to be associated with the
growing popularity of these chemicals.

Use microfibre cloths to reduce dust |
|
To
reduce dust indoors, remove dust from furniture using either a damp cloth or a
microfibre cloth, to trap the dust, rather than a “feather” type duster which
disperses the dust back into the air. Walls and ceilings should also be
damp-mopped occasionally.

Health problems associated with compact fluorescent lights |
|
While there are a couple of
exceptions, newspaper and internet articles published during the last 7 months generally
suggest that compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s), which are being promoted as
energy-efficient replacements for incandescent globes, may aggravate health
problems including migraine, eczema, seizures and lupus in light-sensitive people. Some countries,
including Australia, plan to replace incandescent globes with CFL’s as one
measure in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

|
Jenny had
always suffered from the occasional migraine. However, recently, she had been
experiencing them frequently and at times, quite severely. She therefore asked
Building Wellness to do an EMF and radio frequency assessment of her home to
determine whether or not these exposures may be responsible for her condition.
