COMM. 4801
Murashige, Laura
From: Joe Kassel <drjoeka@gmail.com>
Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2019 1:45 PM
To: Council Testimony
Subject: bill 101
Aloha Councilmembers:
I support the passage of Bill 101.
I have spent years studying the adverse health impacts of glyphosate containing pesticides. The objective
scientific literature overwhelmingly indicates numerous adverse health impacts due to exposure to these
herbicides. While lymphoma is linked to glyphosate herbicide exposure and has resulted in successful lawsuits,
there are many other impacts not as well known including endocrine disruption and birth defects.
I have testified before the council on this subject before and can provide supportive literature. I do hope that the
Council passes this legislation, it is the responsible choice to protect the health of the keiki, County workers and
the public at large.
Mahalo and Aloha,
Dr. Joe Kassel N.D., L.Ac.
