====Canada to ban [[Bisphenol-A]]==== |
|||
[http://www.thestar.com/article/852096--in-historic-move-canada-to-list-bpa-as-toxic Star]. Had to read a lot to figure out why this is "historic move". Canada banned it from baby bottles and a large part of the world followed it as apparent from the article. "Canada had been the first country in the world to declare that it intended to label BPA a toxic substance. Even now, the action would have international resonance". I dont know how the banning procedure will work and if will just be banned on some particular day. Most likely it will be a phase out so the intent to ban is most likely going to be of much more interest. -- [[User:Ashishg55|Ashish]][[User talk:Ashishg55|-g55]] 20:31, 25 August 2010 (UTC) |

:'''Oppose'''. I love to see science stories on ITN, but only if there's a good reason behind them. This story is (unfortunately) rather "run-of-the-mill". Changing the classification of BPA from "harmful" to "toxic" is not a huge move, it just means you've killed a few more rats... The [http://ecb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/DOCUMENTS/Existing-Chemicals/RISK_ASSESSMENT/REPORT/bisphenolareport325.pdf European Union ''Risk Assessment Report''] from February 2010 concluded that BPA "[met] the T criterion" (ie, it's toxic, see p 139 of the PDF file). The human cohort study cited by Wikireader is interesting, and is consistent with many other studies, but I don't think it's enough on its own to justify an ITN story: we would really need its inclusion in the [[Rotterdam Convention]], which is a long way off.

A country the size of New Zealand - who on the scale of things seem pretty small are actually the 123rd biggest country which means there are 70 odd countries that are smaller than that. |

:::I've said this before, but using population as some indicator of the importance of a national election is fundamentally flawed. Whatever happened to applying the logic of "[[Correlation does not imply causation]]".

Ireland is well known in global politics due to issues over NI, yet its population is only just over 1/10th of that of [[Tanzania]], a country I suspect most people couldn't locate on a map, let alone know anything about politically. Likewise, countries such as [[Bosnia]], [[Kosovo]], [[Cyprus]], [[Palestine]] and [[Lebanon]] all have populations below 5m, but have been involved in major global geo-political issues over the last 20 years.
