	Spraying chemical Endosulfan in Rodney parks and playing fields putting children and adults at major risk..... A call by Rodney District council for submissions to the "Draft Annual Plan" has alerted residents to the use of Endosulfan to "kill earthworms. This chemical is an endocrine disrupter with such potential health problems that it is banned in European Union and many other countries. Mothers are calling the Council to "stop the use of Endosulfan, in particular on playing fields and sports grounds where children and adults fall and have skin contact directly with it.- a known hormone disrupting chemical, implicated in breast cancer, with increasing numbers of men now also diagnosed with this condition." The application of Endosulfan is to kill earthworms, the prime soil enhancer -- and therefore an ecological crime as well.*
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosulfan#Toxicity states: Endosulfan is a neurotoxic organochlorine insecticide of the cyclodiene family of pesticides. It is highly toxic and an endocrine disrupter, and it is banned in the European Union, the Phillipines, Cambodia and several other countries. What is the endocrine system? The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and hormones that regulates many of the body's functions, including growth, development and maturation, as well as the way various organs operate. The endocrine glands -- including the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, thymus, pancreas, ovaries, and testes -- release carefully-measured amounts of hormones into the bloodstream that act as natural chemical messengers, traveling to different parts of the body in order to control and adjust many life functions.. http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/qendoc.asp#disruptor				http://www.ermanz.govt.nz/consultations/ceir/m.pdf Formulations containing endosulfan have been registered for use in New Zealand since 1963. The products containing endosulfan that are currently registered for agricultural use in New Zealand are Flavylan 350EC, Thiodan, Thionex Insecticide. Endosulfan is a cyclodiene organochlorine insecticide and acaricide. In New Zealand, it is applied to tomatoes, potatoes, onions, brassica, fodder crop seedlings, maize, sweetcorn, berries and ornamentals to control various insect pests including aphids, caterpillars, beetles, potato tuber moths and other chewing and sucking insects. No mention of worms or playing fields here...Ed
