A University of Utah College of Medicine scientist reports that the people of Utah and the intermountain region (as veil as the remainder of the U.S.) need not fear the danger of contaminated by becoming pesticide residues. Dr. John R. Ward, associate professor of Medicine, told medical colleagues at the annual meeting of the Ogden (Utah) Surgical Society that the only danger to the human population from the sophisticated pesticides presently being used in agriculture and pest control is not from the poisons themselves, but from the humans who apply them. Dr. Ward reviewed the development of the organophos- - and phate hydrocarbon -derived insecticides and pesticides, and the development of a fear complex among the human population that they were ' suddenly become slowly and systematically poisoned by the dangerous substances. The poisoning supposedly develops through the accumulation of trace amounts in the human body over long periods of time. He advised his medical associates to reassure their patients against this fear. The only real danger lies in the clearcut misuse of the pesticides by the humans involved. We all know that accidents do The Welcome Mat Is Out happen, but any remotely dangerous occur-an- ce involving pesticides is clearly preventable through proper packaging, distribution and adherance to governmenDr. Ward tal standards, occasionally stated. The Federal government, in ligiously, no American citizen need have any concern about being insidiously poisoned. He compared the use of pesticides to chlorination of water. As long as it is applied according to established procedures using the proper amounts, the substances will do nothing but good. Dr. Ward acknowledged that some residues do get into the human body, but at very small levels, although most are passed through. For example, he stated that the average human can expect to ingest approximately 50 mg (milliO grams) ' A eg' , - ' ' I COME INTO OUR NEW OFFICE AND MEET TOM WILCOX WHO WILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU WITH ANY REAL ESTATE NEEDS WE BUY-SELL-TRA- & with State agri- cooperation cultural, forest, and game departments, have rigid controls over the abuse of pesticides, he added, stating unequivocally that if the rules of procedure and use of these substances are followed re- of DDT Certain substances, used abusiwely, have been shown in animal research to provide cancer causing activity. However, he assured, the same is true of many common household chemicals, other substances common to daily life, and yet these are not when really of any peril. With regulations governing the use of pesticides, there is a 100 percent safety factor built in, for animals and humans. As in the use of sporting firearms, driving an automobile, or just walking around ernes onw home, there are potential hazards. As long as man manages the beneficial pesticides according to established standards, rules, and regulations, and prevents abuse, humans need not fear these substances any more than any other problem we might face in our routine daily living, Dr. Ward Hun-sak- large stones. white coals.

The Federal government is acutely aware, Dr. Ward continued, of the potential problem. The U.S. Public. Health ce Service has an extensive program under way continually.
