Hayes argued, “the impacts of atrazine on amphibians and on wildlife in general are potentially devastating” (Hayes et al. 4). Atrazine causes disease and deformities and is a threat to both humans and wildlife. Atrazine is the most common pesticide contaminant of ground and surface water that can spread a half million pounds of atrazine more than 1,000 km from the point of application via rainfall (Hayes et al. 1).
Malathion is seen as something that would be harmful to citizens of the town, but the West Niles Virus is just a fatal of something to fear. In either of the situations we are talking about whether or not the decision that is made is going to be in the best interest of the town members and the tourist that our town so desperately needs. After looking over the information and making some notes about Malathion in the areas of hazard identification, dose-response, exposure, and risk characterization there is enough data to draw a solid conclusion. As a result of the research I have opted to allow the Malathion to be sprayed, but there will be some stipulations to this agreement. The hazard identification test showed that many test had been
The scientific evidence on the E-cigarette is not final; it doesn’t prove or show medical evidence on how they will affect a person’s health. They have surfaced at a prime time and hit the shelves when people are automatically viewing them as being much safer over a regular cigarette. The marketing
He includes many references and photos to support his claims. One of the main reasons claimed the holocaust never happened is the survivors testimonies. None claim that bodies of their loved ones, after being exterminated in the gas chambers had and red coloring. It is proven that the body turns a red color after being subjected to carbon monoxide gas, which was used in gas chambers. There are no official autopsy reports from American doctors claiming that victims were gassed.
This definitely does not represent another society where smoking is unpopular. Criticism 4: The survey size of 3,000 adults is too small to generalize all the men and women. This article appears to be written for anybody in the world. Criticism 5: Confounding outcomes. Any factors can result in long-lasting changes in the loss of smell due to various allergies and various types of surgeries, but no linkage to death at all.
There is no scientific evidence that marijuana prevents the progression of visual loss in glaucoma. While marijuana, as well as alcohol and a host of other substances, and lower intraocular eye pressure, the medication must be carefully tailored to the individual to prevent further eye damage. Besides numerous adverse side effects of smoking marijuana, the dose cannot be controlled. Several AIDS patients are using marijuana because of the claim that it gets rid of some of the side effects. Smoking marijuana to reduce the side effects of AIDS compromises the immune system and puts AIDS patients at a significant risk for infections and respiratory problems.
Legalizing Marijuana Pamela Horton SOC 120 Introductions to Ethics & Social Responsibility George Greaves October 29, 2012 Some people believe that marijuana is not a drug it is a plant. Many my agree that it is a natural herb planted to help cope with stress of everyday hectic lives. Anything that alters your state of being, or have you doing things out of the norms is a drug. The pro-legalization argument was that if we legalize marijuana it could not be controlled and the efforts to try to control marijuana uses causes more problems than they solve. I feel that if we legalize marijuana we would have a bunch of fried brain lunatics running around committing all kinds of crimes.
Not only did this study state that the weapons banned were only used in a small percent of crimes even before the ban, but also "found no statistical evidence of post-ban decreases in either the number of victims per gun-homicide incident, the number of gunshot wounds per victim, or the proportion of gunshot victims with multiple wounds. "(Koper, Roth 67) So even if Congress bans these vaguely named assault weapons it will most likely be as ineffective as the last time they did so. Some take issue with the ban not because of its’ functionality problems, but because they feel it violates their rights as
This claim is not sound because health considerations are a good reason to convince people not to smoke it, but there is not sufficient evidence to justify making it illegal. The only way that marijuana even poses a health threat is when it is smoked. Though with anything smoked it is a health hazard because of the carbon produced. Marijuana can be safely ingested or vaporized, eliminating all potential health risks. A study done at UCLA indicated that heavy marijuana smokers showed less lung injury than tobacco smokers.
Research shows that smoking can lead to “a smokers cough” can obstruct airways. Also proved to higher the risk of lung infection. While research proves that it can cause some bad health risks, it isn’t proved to cause any mental issues. Marijuana does not show any increase in cancer. Even Thomas Jefferson even said “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country” (http://www.hemppresidents.com/pot-and-hemp-quotes.htm) while currently marijuana is only legal for medical use in certain states.
