I have received word that the oyster virus that caused problems last year in France has hit Jersey. 40 to 50 percent mortality at the last tide. Facing problems like this the last thing we need to be doing is heaping further problems on the marine environment like incinerator pollution fall out and gradual sea acidification
- More evidence on the ill effects of nitrates.

Researchers at Rhode Island university have evidence that links increased nitrate levels to diabetes alzheimers and Parkinson's disease.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, found strong parallels between age adjusted increases in death rate from Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes and the progressive increases in human exposure to nitrates, nitrites and nitrosamines through processed and preserved foods as well as fertilizers.
We know the levels of nitrates in Jersey surface and borehole supplies is high. Are we storing up a huge medical health bill for the population?
