Additional information
by Bob Skerstonas (Author)
Bob Skerstonas has written a trailblazing story Without Our Consent on pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides from his own experience and allergies to these chemicals. An immense amount of research has been used to paint a picture of abundance use by agriculture and livestock farming in the USA. Researching this topic our author Bob Skerstonas has provided us with a wealth of information backing this up with over 395 footnotes for a reader to dig deeper into the overuse of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
- 90% of the US population has detectable concentrations of pesticides or their metabolites in their urine or blood samples.
- Pesticides have been linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer, birth defects, and hormonal imbalances.
- Farmworkers and pesticide applicators are particularly at risk of pesticide exposure and related health problems.
Skerstonas is concerned about the effects of pesticides on our health and the environment. He believes that we need to reduce our reliance on pesticides and find more sustainable ways to grow food.
