INDEX TO SOME VIRUSES IN SLUDGE BIOSOLIDS AND RECLAIMED WATER Viruses replicate in heterothropic parts of cells-- also see Bacteria EPA, WEF and state regulators say these viruses obey the laws and will not hurt you.     Biohazard Level 2 Laboratory Safety Handling Procedures are Required, except on your food & lawn By Jim Bynum                                                                                                                7/31/2007 In the last twenty-five years,acute Illnesses, chronic sickness and deaths have been caused by viruses once thought to be beneficial. New veruses have emerged and old ones have become very deadly. In 1989 EPA  only acknowledged nine viruses in sludge biosolids: 1) Entroviruses -no disease; 2) Poliovirus --Gastroenteritis, meningitis, carditis, nervous system involvement,  pneumonia, infectious hepatitis; 3) Coxsackieviruses -- Infectious Hepatitis; 4)  Echovirus --no disease; 5) Hepatitis A (HAV)--no disease ;  6) Norwalk =  Gastroenteritis; 7) Norwalk like viruses-- Gastroenteritis; 8) Reovirus --- Respiratory infections,  gastroenteritis; and, 9) Rotavirus --   Gastroenteritis, infant diarrhea In 1992, published information was limited to, "Most of these pathogens are very deadly to humans and animals.  Of the nine viruses, Entroviruses or Picornaviruses (152 species) pathogens can cause gastrointestinal problems, respiratory problems and can also be fatal. Poliovirus (3 species) pathogens cause inflammation of the grey matter of the spinal cord.   Coxsackievirus A (23 species), B (6 species) pathogens are mostly mild, but they can cause inflammation of the heart in newborns. While Echovirus (31 species) pathogens primarily cause inflammation of the heart, spinal cord and brain, Hepatitis A virus pathogens cause liver problems and can lead to death. Norwalk viruses and Norwalk like virus pathogens cause mostly diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and Rotavirus causes acute gastroenteritis. Since 1992, all of these viruses in sludge biosolids have become even more deadly.  They require biohazard level 2 safety procedures for handling in a laboratory. Why would EPA and WEF claim it is safe for our children to play on these viral contaminated sludge biosolids and reclaimed water disposal sites -- farms, play grounds, school grounds, state and city parks as well as home lawns?
