“Chemicals that were relatively harmless when used independently of each other could become highly toxic to the brain when used together… governments should consider restricting the availability of some household chemicals until more was known about their interaction in the brain with each other and with other substances such as over-the-counter medicines.„ (Mohamed Abou-Donia, a professor of pharmacology, cancer biology and neurobiology at Duke University Medical Centre. 2001) |
Safety testing in Britain and Germany Safety tests on permethrin use in homes in Britain and Germany have produced strikingly different results and recommendations. In the UK, water-based permethrin timber treatment formulations have been given eight-hour re-entry time approval, whilst in Germany permethrin has been declared a persistent human health risk for up to two years after application. Jeff Howell visited both institutes to investigate these differences. |
