Most microbial pesticides – FUNGI and BACTERIA – are CLASSIFIED as “CHEMICAL’S” ‘by the EPA’

Since the show “Toxic America” is getting so much publicity right now… the following should too: Sandi Trend

AMERICAN WORKERS’ EXPOSED TO “UNKNOWN” TOXIN’S IN BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES; CHEMICALS – VIRUSES – BACTERIA – FUNGUS – PARASITES – NEMATODES

This happens more than one would think… or ever could imagine.

BIOTECH INDUSTRY = PLUS $$$       BIOTECH EMPLOYEE = MINUS $$$

The biotechnology industry has a win, WIN situation because of the willful concealment’s of workplace related injuries, illnesses and/or death from the biotech employer’s “total disregard” for employee’s health and safety.

TRADE SECRET’S – CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION – PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

The biotech employee’s are never allowed to know what they are/have been exposed to because of “trade secrets”, “confidential information” or “proprietary information”.

FEAR OF RETALIATION – THREATENED,  HARASSED, LAID OF, LET GO or FIRED

The biotech employees’ are afraid to speak out about safety and health violations in their workplace environment; for fear of losing their jobs or being black-balled in the industry. 

BIOTECH INDUSTRY = MONEY –  MONEY –  MONEY = “GREED”

Biotech employer’s DO NOT report the injures and illnesses that befall employees’ for fear of “NOT obtaining”: Federal and state funding; investor funding; Federal and/or state approval of their “product/s” AND global sales.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST & FINANCIAL TIES

Further concealment takes place BETWEEN the biotech employer and The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the EPA, USDA, and FDA; by Federal and state public ‘as well as’ elected officials and within the workers’ compensation systems.

…the scientific watchdog group, The Council for Responsible Genetics-GeneWatch Magazine submitted the electronic version of the print subscription; March-April 2010 issue titled, “BioLab Safety”.

GeneWatch EDITOR, Sam Anderson QUOTE:

“This may be one of the most important GeneWatch issues in recent memory”

“The same could be said of Becky McClain and David Bell themselves. These are not isolated incidents. Now that we have seen these two cases, one has to wonder; how many more are out there?

The electronic version of GeneWatch magazine; BioLab Safety is available free online here

This 28 page electronic version can be read as you would a “printed” magazine issue.

Political Action Committee – National Apartment Association (NAA) files Amicus Brief in mold case (two infant deaths in mold filled apt – Wasatch Prop Mgmt) citing US Chamber/ACOEM ‘litigation defense report’ to disclaim health effects of indoor mold & limit financial risk for industry

“Changes in construction methods have caused US buildings to become perfect petri dishes for mold and bacteria to flourish when water is added. Instead of warning the public and teaching physicians that the buildings were causing illness; in 2003 the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform, a think-tank, and a workers comp physician trade organization mass marketed an unscientific nonsequitor to the courts to disclaim the adverse health effects to stave off liability for financial stakeholders of moldy buildings. Although publicly exposed many times over the years, the deceit lingers in US courts to this very day.” Sharon Noonan Kramer

Information about Riverstone Residential, the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency, and the owners of Jefferson Lakes Apartments in Baton Rouge, Louisiana allowing tenants to be exposed to extreme amounts of toxins from molds by intentionally concealing evidence

Irrefutable evidence indicates that Riverstone Residential, Guarantee Service Team of Professionals, & plaintiffs’ attorney, J Arthur Smith III, must have agreed to exclude evidence that would have shown the owners of Jefferson Lakes Apartments & Riverstone Residential had knowledge of the severe MOLD INFESTATION at the complex before we moved in
