She's just a teenager and lives in the country - but Bethan already has 17 different gender-bending chemicals in her blood. As our disturbing tests reveal, many adults have TWICE that... and it's common household products that are to blame...
They seem innocuous but many everyday household products - from face creams to computers and even carpets - contain chemicals that could seriously damage our health. Several studies have recently linked gender-bending chemicals to genital malformation, infertility and cancer.
Last week a study for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) suggested that they could account for the rise in breast cancer - over the past 30 years the number of cases has risen by 81 per cent. Read more here at Source: Daily Mail (UK).
For my job I read 1000's of pages of EHS regulations and news a month... This is a hub of that critical EHS information posted for colleagues, students and public consumers.

Message to first time readers:
Optimism and an open mind are the most radical political acts there
are.
We have thousands of energy options that can save our economy and planet without
sacrificing our resources or lifestyles.
The general public only hears of the few options that line the pockets of the
few that result in the suffering of the many.
The public information on this website makes it easy for anyone to clearly
understand how viable and abundant our future can really be.

● 41,000 year cycle: Cycle of the
+/- 1.5° wobble in Earth's orbit (
tilt)
● 100,000 year cycle: Variations in the shape of Earth's elliptical orbit (
cycle of eccentricity)
Atmospheric Causes
● Heat retention: Due to atmospheric gases, mostly
gaseous water vapor (not droplets), also carbon dioxide, methane, and a few
other miscellaneous gases -- the "greenhouse effect"
● Solar reflectivity: Due to white clouds,
volcanic dust, polar ice caps
Tectonic Causes
● Landmass distribution: Shifting
continents (continental drift) causing changes in
circulatory patterns of ocean currents. It seems that whenever there is a
large land mass at one of the Earth's poles, either the north pole or south
pole, there are ice ages.
● Undersea ridge activity: "Sea floor spreading"
(associated with continental drift) causing variations in ocean
displacement.

Science and Public Policy Institute is dedicated to sound public
policy based on sound science. It encourages legislators to use science and
fact, separating reality from rhetoric, to develop beneficial policies without
unintended consequences that might threaten the life, liberty, and prosperity of
the citizenry.
