monitor residue levels in humans, food, and wildlife (Encarta 1).I realize that chemicals can be dangerous. However I feel they are something that should be respected not feared. In the United States we have the EPA which is doing a good job at making out country a safer place. Because of the agency I do not worry about the food I eat or the water I drink. I am not saying that everything is as good as it could be and that everything is safe, but I believe the United States is far ahead of other countries in terms of safety. I also know that there is more that can be done and believe that it will get better. If we continue to make safer chemicals, keep using lower doses then I believe the benefits of chemicals will by far outweigh any negative points they may have....
