GLOBAL NUCLEAR DUMP DOWN UNDER MEETS RESISTANCE
By Bob Burton
CANBERRA, Australia, October 28, 1999 (ENS) - A deep geologic repository for
permanent isolation of nuclear waste that would accept radioactive material
from every country of the world sounds like a good idea for countries that
want to get rid of their waste, but it does not sound so good to
Australians.

COMMON INSECTICIDE FOUND HIGHLY RISKY IN NEW REVIEW
By Cat Lazaroff
WASHINGTON, DC, October 28, 1999 (ENS) - A common, popular insecticide used
on crops, lawns and Christmas trees poses higher risks to human health and
the environment than previously believed, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency revealed Wednesday
..........
Chlorpyrifos, the active ingredient in Dursban* and Lorsban* insecticides, trademarked
names of Dow AgroSciences LLC, is a broad-spectrum, organophosphate insecticide first
registered in the United States in 1965

TO BUSINESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDITORS:
Dow AgroSciences Comments on Preliminary EPA Risk Assessment
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 28 -/E-Wire/-- The following is commentary from Dow
AgroSciences on preliminary EPA risk assessment:
It has come to our attention that a group of activists has been
attempting to mischaracterize a preliminary EPA risk assessment on our
insect control product chlorpyrifos. This group is apparently contacting
news organizations in an effort to generate publicity.
The documents this group is attempting to draw attention to are
preliminary and have been made available by EPA for public comment during
the next 60 days. Our review of this preliminary assessment has found both
numerous errors and omissions of critical data which skew the assessment's
findings and artificially inflate its estimates of risk.
