Urge the Brazilian Government to Negotiate the Removal of All Pyroxyfen and Relative Analogs from their Tap Water.

Created by P.O. on March 08, 2016

In 2014, the larvicide, pyriproxyfen, was introduced into the drinking water of the Brazilian population. Due to the recently found evidence linking the addition of pyroxyfen and other pesticides to microcephaly, we urge the Brazilian government to take action to remove these compounds from their water supply. Aeration, chlorine and other known compounds are equally effective for treating tap water.

As one article reported, "Zika may not be the bad guy after all. Instead of a sensational and scary virus, there may be a more mundane yet far more dangerous cause of the recent cases of microcephaly in South and Central America. "

We urge you to take action for the benefit of people everywhere and for the Earth. Remove the chemicals, from groundwater. You have a choice. You have a voice.
