Our Readers Write Poison Spray In the County? To The Editor: Notice: you may have been sprayed with poisons. On Friday. June 13 (a cold and windy day), the Cape May County Mosquito Extermination Commission sprayed 1.000 acres with malathion by helicopter. On Saturday. June 14, 2,000 acres were apparently sprayed by fixed-wing aircraft. When I called the county Health Department, they were unaware that this happened. Environmental Program Administrator Clay Sutton could not make comment and referred me to Public Health Coordinator Louis J. Lamanna. who did not return my phone calls. OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT should be able to give us some facts on possible effects of these poisons. This poison was used to kill adult mosquitos on the wing. In order to do this, the whole outdoor environment had to be polluted and many beneficial insects killed. All for a day or so of not being bothered by mosquitos How many predators were killed as well? How many thousands of tax dollars were used'' Are we not creating an ever -expanding market for the peddlers of poison'' Is this really cost effective? Lewes Regenstein in "American the Poisoned" said "a study of the long-term effects of such common organophosphates as malathion, parathion and mipofax upon human electroencephalograms shows that just one exposure can alter the electrical activity of an infant's brain for years and possibly cause abnormal behavior and learning patterns "OTHER STUDIES at Harvard Medical School on the tendency of organophosphates to cause insomnia, irritability. memory loss, difficulty in concentrating and decreased libido have concluded that there is a dangerous possibility that organophosphate pesticides have the potential for causing long-term brain damage " "Another group of insecticides, called carbanates. are widely-used not only as insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, but also as medicines, insulating material, clothing and plasticizers. Some of these pesticides, such as carfaryl (Sevin) are extremely toxic to honey bees and other pollinators." Regenstein wrote. The results of combinations of carbanates and organophosphates have been little studied, but preliminary results indicate that fetal problems may occur. These two classes of pesticides have been used extensively in Cape May County On June 10 in Cumberland County. 5.000 people turned out to show opposition to a proposed toxic waste dump. Here in Cape May County, we are dumping toxic on ourselves, and few protest. RUTH FISHER South Dennis Do you have an opinion on this subject? Write a letter to the editor. P.O. Box 430.
