Today, we were given intructions to post about other people's posts. Since Kerstin is one of my partners, our information will be the same and I am going to post about her info on restricted pesticides.
The website that Kerstin used, http://entweb.clemson.edu/pesticid/Document/FedRUP.htm, explained all of the pesticides that are restricted.
I thought this was intersting because it shows both that people are aware of the effects of these chemicals, and also that we might not be banishng them enough, because obviously, since there are still many pesticides used today, we do not take into account the amount of chemicals and the effects it can do to us.
Since there are so many pesticides, herbicides, etc. that have been banded because of the uses or ingredients, I feel that we as a whole have been doing a decent job watching out for our health. But if long exposure to these chemicals makes most of the difference, can they be bad if you are around it for only a small period of time? Or are workers/farmers that work around it in more danger than people like us who eat it?
These are some of the questions that I want to try to get answered in our research for this project.
Other than that, our script needs some work and since it's due on friday, I hope we have enough time.
