It promotes the overgrowth of fungi and yeasts in our bodies, and causes inflammation for people with fibromyalgia and other auto-immune conditions. These also promote the overgrowth of algae, which is clogging up bodies of water, especially with global warming.

That should be easy enough to pull together :).

Also about air quality– different standards for different states? I live in the state of Indiana which is I believe usually in violation.

Environmental sustainability is still abstract to many people. Such data analytics provided by race, geographic regions, and income levels would also be appreciated.

Today every label looks different and thus no standard way to submit, review or read a EPA approved pesticide label. I believe there has been some efforts in this direction from EPA via a PRISM e-label program but the following link seems to show they are only asking for a searchable pdf, so still no standardized requirement. No standards makes it harder for both reviewers and consumers of these labels since their all different. It only helps the pesticide manufactures that have lots of freedom to construct these labels in anyway they want as long as they have the required data in them. No standards cost tax payers money due to extra review time of labels and consumers of the pesticide labels that are hard to read since every label has the order of the required information in different places. Here is a link to e-label efforts that look pretty limited at this point. http://www.epa.gov/oppfead1/labeling/lrm/chap-04.pdf

Can’t your satellites give that information?
