[www.keralites.net] ECHOES OF LIFE

 

ECHOES OF LIFE
A son and a father were walking on the mountain.
Suddenly, the boy falls, hurts himself and screams:
- Alas!!
To his surprise, he hears his voice echoing somewhere in the mountain:

- Alas!!
Curious boy asks:
- Who are you?
He receives the answer:
- Who are you?
Displeased shouts:
- You coward!
And listen to the answer:
- You coward!
He looks to his father and asks, worried:
- What is it?
The father smiles and says:
- My son, pay attention.
Then he screams to the mountain:
- I admire you!
The voice answers:
- I admire you!
Again the man screams:
- You are a champion!
The voice answers:
- You are a champion!
And his father explains:
- People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
Life gives you back everything you SAY, all you WANT OF GOOD AND BAD OF OTHERS, LIFE will return all the BLASPHEMY, envy, misunderstanding, lack of honesty that you wanted to, cursed the people who surround you as eg what many parents tell their children:
yOU WILL NOT BE NOTHING IN THIS LIFE! The power of word of a parent of a child is too big and notice around them, many do this.
OUR LIFE is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love, understanding, SUCCESS, HARMONY, HAPPINESS, create more love, understanding, harmony,
in his heart. If you do, LIFE will give you HAPPINESS, SUCCESS, LOVE the people who surround you.
REFLECT ... and improve your life while there is time,
create ECOS good in your life and around you, speak only words that bring life and not death.
(I am unaware of authorship)
That when you hear the echo of your life just hearken
good things, is a sign that your heart is full
love, tenderness, peace, understanding and joy ...
What the rest of your days be blessed by God, who
he always enlighten your path and your life ...

[www.keralites.net] PESTICIDES IN SOFT DRINKS

 

 

"Pesticide levels in soft drinks too high"



Sunita Narain  

New study indicates pesticides 24 times higher than Bureau of Indian Standards norms

"The levels in some samples exceeded the BIS standards by 140 times for the deadly pesticide Lindane, a confirmed carcinogen" "Heptachlor, banned in India, was found in 71 per cent of the samples, at levels four times higher than BIS standards" "
The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) on Wednesday came out with a new report on the levels of pesticides in soft drinks available in the market.
The report indicated the presence of an average of three to five different pesticides in all the samples, 24 times higher than the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) norms, which have been finalised but not yet notified.
The latest CSE study is based on tests conducted on 57 samples of 11 soft drink brands from 25 different manufacturing plants of Coca-Cola and Pepsico, spread over 12 States.
The levels in some samples for instance, Coca-Cola bought in Kolkata exceeded the BIS standards by 140 times for the deadly pesticide Lindane, a confirmed carcinogen.
Similarly, a Coca-Cola sample manufactured in Thane contained 200 times more of the neurotoxin, Chlorpyrifos, than the BIS standard, said Sunita Narain of CSE releasing the report here.
Three years after the centre released its first findings on pesticide residue in soft drinks, the new study shows that nothing much has changed and soft drinks remain unsafe and unhealthy. Even the directions given by the Joint Parliamentary Committee have been disregarded: standards for safety have been finalised but blocked because of opposition by the companies, Ms. Narain alleged.
In 2003, the average level of pesticide residue in samples from Delhi was 34 times above the same BIS standard, but this time the CSE has found pesticide residue as high as 52 times in bottles brought in Kolkata and 42 times in bottles bought in Nainital and Gorakhpur. Similarly, bottles bought in Mumbai, manufactured in Thane and Nagpur, allegedly had residue 34 times above the BIS standard.
Heptachlor, banned in India, was allegedly found in 71 per cent of the samples, at levels four times higher than BIS standards.
The average amount of pesticide residue found in all the samples was 11.85 parts per billion (ppb) or 24 times higher than the BIS standards for total pesticides in soft drinks (0.5 ppb). Pepsi Cola contained 30 times higher residue on an average, while Coca-Cola contained 27 times higher than average.
Endorsed by JPC
The current study was conducted by the same Pollution Monitoring Laboratory of CSE that had tested the samples in 2003, and the methodology was endorsed by the JPC despite doubts raised by the cola companies over the veracity of the tests. This time further improvements had been made, and the laboratory now had ISO 9001:2000 quality management system accreditation and it was equipped with state-of-the-art GS-MS equipment, Ms. Narain said.
In February 2004, confirming the unsafe levels of pesticides in soft drinks, the JPC had directed the Government to set standards for these residues in the products. Since then, BIS has, in its sectional committee, met over 20 times to deliberate on the standards, and in October 2005 the standards were finalised.
Ms. Narain alleged that the final standards were being opposed by the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry on the ground that more research needed to be done. In this respect, she quoted a letter written by the Union Health Secretary to his counterpart in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs. The letter was written on March 29, 2006 the day the standards were to be formally finalised. The standards were finalised, but not notified, Ms. Narain said.
