Globalization
of Trade
In today’s environment of free trade
and divergent or absent regulation, the daily health of millions
of unsuspecting people around the world is at increasing risk
from water-borne bacteria, pesticides, industrial toxins,
manufacturing byproducts, and hazardous wastes from military
arsenals.
The lack of strict export safety measures
in many countries has an impact on the health of our communities.
For example, changing food industry practices and food imported
from around the globe bring new challenges to food safety
in the US. Hence, the management of health risks elsewhere
in the world has direct consequences here.
