One Of the most significant

couse and Effect

When one is concerned with
the mysterious and wonderful
functioning Of the human body,
cause and effect are seldom
simple and easily demonstrated
relationships. They may be
widely separated both in space
and time. To discover the agent
Of disease and death depends
on a patient piecing together Of
many seemingly distinct and
unrelated facts developed
through a vast amount of re-
search in widely separated
fields.
We are accustomed to look
for the gross and immediate
effect and to ignore all else.
Unless this appears promptly
and in such obvious form that
1t cannot be ignored, we deny
the existence Of hazard. Even
research men suffer from the
handicap of inadquate methods
of detecting the beginnings of
injury. The lack Of sufficiently
delicate method to detect
injury before symptoms appear
is one Of the great unsolved
problems in medicine.
Even in the absence of sud-
den and dramatic symptoms,
one who handles such materials
is unquestionably storing up
toxic materials in his body.
Storage of the chlorinated hy-
drocarbons, is cumulative, be-
gining with the smallest intake,
The toxic materials become
lodged in all the fatty tissues Of
the body. When these reserves
of fats are drawn upon the
poison may then strike quickly.
A New Zealand medical journal
recently provided an example.
A man under treatment for
obesity suddenly developed
symptoms of poisoning. On ex-
animation his fat was found to
contain stored dieldrin. which
had been metabolized as he lost
weight. The same thing could
happen with loss of weight in
illness.
The results of storage, on the
other hand, could be even less
obvious. Several years ago the
Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association warned strongly
of the hazards of inSecticide
storage in adipose tissue, point
ing out that drugs or chemicals
that are cumulative require
greater caution than those hav-
ing no tendency to be stored in
the tissues.
The adipose tissue, we are
warned, is not merely a place
for the deposition Of fat (Which
makes UP about lS per cent Of
the body weight, but has many
important functions with which
the stored poisons may inter-
fere. Furthermore, fats are very
widely distributed in the organs
and tissues Of the whole body !.
even being constituents Of cell
membranes.

Nov our major concern is no
longer with the disease organ
is1hb that once were omni-
pteSent; sanitation, better liv-
ink kconditions, and new drugs
ha0 selRen us a high degree Of
control over infectious disease
To-day. we are concerned with
aadifferent kind Of hazard that
turks In our environments
hazard we ourselves have in
troduced into our world as our
modern way of life has evolved
The new environmental
health problems are multiple
created by radiation in all its
forms, born Of the never-endine
stream Of chemicals of which
pesticides are a part, chemicals
now pervading the. world in
which we live, acting upon us
directly and indirectly, sep
arately and collectively. Their
presence casts a shadow that
is no less ominous because 1t is
formless and obscure, no less
frightening because It is simply
impossible to predict the effects
Of lifetime exposure to chemi-
caaE and physical agents that
are not part Of the biological
experience Of man.
"Weall live under the haunt
ing fear that something may
corrupk the environment to the
point where man joins the
dinosaurs as an obsolete form
Of life," says DR.. David Price
Of the United States Public
Health Service. And what
makes these thoughts all the
more disturbing is the knowl-
edge that our fate could per-
haps be sealed 20 or more years
before the development of
symptoms"
Where do pesticides fit into
the picture Of environmental
disease? We have seen that
they now contaminate soil,
water and food. that they have
the power to make our streams
fishless and our gardens and
woodlands silent and birdless.
Man, however much he may
like to pretend the contrary, is
part Of nature. Can he escape
a. pollution that is now so
thoroughly distributed through
out our world?
Evening star., 1962-12-05
All Are Affected

We know that even single
exposures to these chemicals, II
the amount is large enough
can precipitate acute poisoning.
But this 1t not the major prob
lem. The sudden illness or
death of farmers, spraymen.
pilots and others exposed to
appreciable quantities Of pes
ticides are tragic and should
not occur. For the population
as q whole, we must be more
concerned with the delayed
effects; Of absorbing small
amounts Of the pesticides that
invisibly contaminate our
world.
Responsible public health
officials have pointed out that
the biological effects Of chem
ieals are cumulative over long
periods Of time. and that the
hazard to the individual may
depend on the sum Of the ex-
poSures received throughout his
lifetime.
For these very reasons the
danger Is easily ignored. 1t i:
