Subject: [IPAW] frog deformities
and pesticides
Hello All:
There has been some good primary research by Tyrone Hayes of U of California -
Berkley that demonstrates a link between atrazine and increased vulnerability
to the trematode parasites that naturally infect frogs. Atrazine has lots of
rather alarming impacts such as reduced sperm production in fish, amphibians,
and laboratory rodents and is associated with impaired fertility and low sperm
county in humans.
Dr. Hayes has focused on atrazine and does not make any link to herbicides that
we all know and love (well, maybe not love, but at least use).
You can read more about his work on his web site - http://www.atrazinelovers.com/m0.html
He has a lot of great information there including impacts on plants and
endangered species.
