EPA & CHEMICAL INDUSTRY TO STUDY EFFECTS OF KNOWN TOXIC
CHEMICALS ON CHILDREN
Laptop Battery 11/22/2004: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by
Bush appointees, is seeking input on a new proposed study in which
infants in participating low income families will be monitored for
health impacts as they undergo
exposure to known toxic chemicals over the course of two years.
The study entitled Childrens Environmental Exposure Research
Study (CHEERS) will look at how chemicals can be ingested,
inhaled or absorbed by children ranging from babies to 3 years
old.

Microsoft In October, the EPA received $2.1 million to do the study from
the American Chemistry Council, a chemical industry front group
that includes members such as Dow, Exxon, and Monsanto (see full
list of members on sidebar of this page). Critics of the research,
including some EPA scientists, claim the study's funders guarantee
the results will be biased in favor of the chemical industry, at
the expense of the health of the impoverished children serving as
test subjects.
laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)
Laptop Computers For 30 years the ACC has known the high level of toxicity of the
specific chemicals being "studied" in this project. These are some
of the most dangerous known chemicals in household products. The
ACC knows full well the intensely negative impacts that these
chemicals have on humans, as does the EPA and has lobbied heavily
to keep them legal. This is fully documented in study after study
and memo after memo and meeting after meeting over three decades
(see side bar and footnotes for reference and further
research).

Designed to help promote air flow and reduce heat, the Cool Lift is perfect for notebook computers with the latest hot processors from Intel, AMD, Motorola, or IBM. Proof Shields for Laptops help prevent scratches from normal laptop use. Proof Shield. It even completely disappears when applied!
Laptop Computer The trick here is that these products are known to have negative
long term health effects. This is a short two year study. In other
words, the results of he study are already known...there will be
little to no obvious short term negative effects on these children
at the end of the two year period. The seemingly positive results
of the study will allow the ACC to announce positive "EPA study
results" to the public, which will allow the ACC to more
effectively lobby congress to weaken regulations on these products
even more (thereby increasing profits dramatically). This technique
has been exercised by the ACC for decades.

Your new compaq laptop battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to your computer manual for charging instructions). Of course, once you decide on the laptop computer battery you need, you will want to receive it right away. Plug battery pack into DC input of your laptop computer which is located in backside of laptop usually.

Desktop Computer The real negative effects of these types of chemicals come
further down the road, when these children could exhibit learning
disorders, a propensity for various types of cancer, early puberty/
hormonal disruption, and birth defects in their children.
Notebooks Low income families have clearly been targeted in this study.
Participants for the study will be chosen from 6 health clinics and
three hospitals in Duval County, FL. According to the EPA study
proposal, "Although all Duval County citizens are eligible to use
the [health care] centers, they primarily serve individuals with
lower incomes. In the year 2000, seventy five percent of the users
of the clinics for pregnancy issues were at or below the poverty
level." (p.23)
Lenovo These medical facilities report that 51% of their births are to
non-white mothers and 62% of
mothers have only received an elementary or secondary education.
Again, according to the EPA study proposal, "The percentage of
births to individuals classified as black in the U.S. Census is
higher at these three hospitals than for the County as a whole."
(pg.23). U.S. Census data also shows that 40% of citizens in
Duval County speak English as a second language on a level
regarded as "poor to no proficiency".
Hard Drive Important Note on Participants of Study: The study layout does
not require that participants increase their chemical use, but does
mandate that chosen applicants will need to demonstrate that they
do regularly use toxic chemicals in and around the home. The
concern here is that low income applicants may increase their toxic
chemical use for the sake of applying and being eligible for the
funding.
Travelstar Important Note on Suspension of the Study: On November 11th, the
EPA announced suspension of the study's launch until early 2005 for
the sake of "final review." The Organic Consumers Association is
taking this opportunity to call on the nation's citizens to demand
the EPA permanently terminate this abuse of low income children by
the chemical industry.
