Bush Trashing the Environment

[Ice]

Not quiet, it was just the logical extension of what you said. Everything is poisonous- it's all a matter of dosage. Until we know what the proper levels are for anything, it should be banned. Or does it only apply in this case because environmental activists got a one-sided article run pushing their position?

What determines whether something should be banned until proven safe?

This is a pretty one sided situation, X. Thoroughly and constantly proving our drinking water is still safe is a good idea imho.

If there is good science that a certain level of chemical is bad for humans, it should be regulated to a safe level.

Which is what this topic is about , the newer studies with more extensive research than those you and Xiahou posted have a strong suggestion that the safe levels are much lower than was previously thought and need new stronger regulation not an exemption from regulation .
