ROUGH DRAFT - IDEAS TO CULTIVATE, CONTEMPLATE, STUDY & SHARE
Hypothesis: (loose knit / layman's terms)
My hypothesis is simple, my hypothesis is that the chemicals that are utilized to treat and inclement winter weather are extraordinary really detrimental to the human body and all wildlife, and are poorly regulated with far too much autonomy and ability to combine chemical ingredients in such mixtures that are doing harm to all life in such a way that these chemicals assault us over and over again, quite possibly being one of the most ignored factors in the rise of cancers and autism spectrum disorder, and perhaps a host of other disease. Equally detrimental, the wildlife must most certainly be suffering terribly too.
Well... this has been on my mind for quite a long while now as I dig for info and talk to professionals and read and further research (loosely) my rather straight forward thoughts/hypothesis.
I want to see an expose in the chemicals utilized in "road salt" & "sprays" or any and all "chemical applications" for inclement winter weather (such as expected icy conditions, snow, below freezing temperatures, etc.)
I see trucks consistently rotted through the frames that are 12 years old and typically just at the Mason Dixon line and North.
Ford F-150s in Chevrolet Silverados from 2006 down, making them 12 years old today, are commonly and often found for sale online as parts vehicles and with their frames rusted completely through, or completely rotting from underneath of the unibody Construction, and all the while with the mechanical drivetrain still in perfect working order. This also affects brake lines and fuel lines as well that are constructed of metal. Of course, there are many other cars, but the ones you see most often are the ones that work in National best selling vehicles.
Who regulates these chemicals in reality and is there any real enforcement ? I understand multiple chemicals may be mixed and utilized, and understanding in one hand its for immediate safety, one must wonder about the long term damages in the other hand, as these chemicals without a doubt must effect ALL LIFE adversely eventually, if not in shorter order.
Corrosive enough to disintegrate steel!!! So bad that indeed the state of Pennsylvania issues letters insisting drivers go quickly to the car wash to remove the chemicals quickly to help avoid the damage.
But, what about people & the animals ? What about the water table & the air we breathe?
We are living in a time of cancer proliferation, and horrible trajectories concerning other physical & mental health aspects, and although this is not a suggestion of this being the only factor, I think it MUST be explored investigateivly and in much more depth !!!
Perhaps a decent group of investigative reporters can start a group to collect and analyze the information at hand, as well as further develop methodology and scientific testing of real life examples through, perhaps a crowd funded campaign (gofundme/patreon), so that we may raise awareness & educate others to these, I strongly feel, overlooked serious issues contained within. I truly believe some research would be mind blowingly very eye-opening.
Think about the water table, the streams, the lakes, and the ponds and the rivers, etc. and think about these chemicals raining and snowing down upon us even yet again, and/or drinking them or eating them in all food sources.
As I've researched a little, it's my understanding that many areas just have a plethora of chemicals on hand that are mixed, and these formulas are tinkered with and further honed only with freezing points in mind, to help protect citizens on the road ways.
I, again, think this to be a very strong "causative factor'" in our (people/wildlife) collective deteriorating health and alongside pesticides/herbicides and GMO's, how can anyone argue against the idea that we are being constantly assaulted with corrosive, life changing/killing, genetic mutating, immune-suppressing/taxing, cancer-causing, chemically formulated combatants?
Ultimately, research that provides support of truth in regards to these chemicals must be pushed upon the masses to Share the Truths".
Where does the explosion in autism spectrum disorder come from, for example but most definitely not limited to, and can we work together collectively to expose and reveal causation perhaps?
It may be that such studies reveal something else completely, and so I cannot imagine they would be wasted time. However I think proof could and would be do offered proving my hunch that seems to go mostly completely unnoticed, thus flying under the radar and hurting the delicate balance which is life.
So again, what will collected data and studying of collected datasets overlapped with geographical regions expose?
We are on the cusp of incredible computational power at our fingertips. Artificial Intelligence, Super Computers, Quantum Computing, and Cloud Computing, all combined, are defining better means by which to collect and sort and compare this data, and other current and very soon coming technology that can help us analyze, track, study, and change methodological practice today, which could greatly help prevent these atrocities, and I feel there is no excuse for failure, however, $$$ often drives an evil machine that is intolerant of the preservation of life and the prevention of loss of life, and therefore is typically the most difficult evil to overcome on the path to logical and rational practices, sadly and most often, even with irrefutable proof in hand!!! Study Monsanto/Searle for example, concerning Aspartame,alongside the almighty $ and political influence and corruption. That proof is all in hand, and do for that case in point, I ask only why is that garbage still legal and poisoning so many?
The only logical and rational answer is that the sweetener industry, in this example, is a multitrillion-dollar business today, and with flawed internal mechanisms and greed at work as it always is, we are chemically assaulted yet again in this example. One must understand that the two naturally occurring amino acids that combined make aspartame, never naturally bond in nature, and are only forced to do so in the lab in the manufacture process, however Aspartame is still able to be hidden most often in the ingredients list under the term "natural flavorings".
So back to the point in hand, concerning chemicals used to treat roadways in incremental weather conditions during the winter time. Are we truly being assaulted by a mixture of corrosive chemicals that wants spread on the roadways are able to assault all life forms over and over again? With my scientific mind and my Loosely knit research over the last several years, I absolutely cannot see any other outcome.
So it comes down to what do we do about these issues? How do we use strategic tactical planning through science alongside our legal system to implement Swift change? Typically, in this modern-day of social media, we are able to educate the masses for more quickly, but can we Assemble 2 affect change immediately? That seems in impossibility when you have people like the Koch brothers in big business with unlimited Financial Resources that constantly wield their money, power, and influence, against the people that are under a recurrent chemical onslaught.
Of course everything is made of chemicals, and of course even the bad actors probably make good contributions and other marketplaces, but my greater point is that we must have a logical and rational system that cannot be swayed by finances and absolutely must perform its and do diligence to protect the people against the many chemicals that we are definitely exposed to that absolutely do us and all life harm, and we know this to be a fact today for certain.
When will the EPA become an agency that better Serve the People and has political and financial Cloud completely removed from it's inherently flawed and often corrupt mechanisms?
And returning once again 2 Road treatment chemicals for implemental winter weather, who is able to buy these chemicals, what chemicals can they choose from, what is their licensing or authority to purchase said chemicals, and who monitors and enforces these purchases? Most importantly of all, mixing chemicals can create wholly new and hideous compounds, and he takes a sample of each batch of chemicals utilized to treat roads, before the treatment is applied? Are agencies throughout the United States that treat local Road services responsible for providing a log from a scientific lab that precisely articulates the amounts in ratio of the chemicals used to make these applications as well as the precise procedures in which they were combined?
I would say these oversights and accountability mrasures probably exist, however I would suggest that they are old and outdated mechanisms that need to be reexamined and that it is time that we do that reexamination immediately and most importantly changed the way things are because I just can't believe that any governmental agency at any level would be allowed to apply chemicals to our roadways that are so terribly corrosive that they will eat through Steel in a relatively short order, as this did not happen to Vehicles just a few decades ago in such short order.
It all comes down to organization and doing our due diligence collectively and putting forth our analysis in way of simple and provable fact alongside political support that will provide new legislation that can be proposed and hopefully in acted upon soon, before it is too late.
Individually, and collectively, we rest on our laurels at our own peril.
