a river. The people who lived there were very kind. These residents, according to parable, began noticing increasing numbers of drowning people caught in the river’s swift current. And so they went to work devising ever more elaborate technologies to resuscitate them. So preoccupied were these heroic villagers with rescue and treatment that they never thought to look upstream to see who was pushing the victims in. This guide is a walk up that river. xi What’s in This Guide? All across North America, people are using the film Living Downstream to create change in their communities. And you can too. Use the ideas in this guide to raise awareness about the links between toxic chemicals and cancer incidence, to encourage public involvement in prevention of environmental contamination, and to brainstorm ways to take action to improve your community’s environmental health. A supplement to the Living Downstream Educational DVD, this guide supports the creative use of the film by organizations, community groups, activists, and other professionals. Its contents have been designed for easy customization according to your group’s mandate, goals, and expertise. The tools within will help you encourage others to think differently about environmental health. They will help you move people beyond questions about preventing personal exposures to realizing that true prevention requires public efforts to stop the manufacture of toxic chemicals.

Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60616 [email protected] www.thehistorymakers.com Creator: Hayes, Tyrone Title: The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History Interview with Tyrone Hayes, Dates: March 7, 2011 Bulk Dates: 2011 Physical Description: 20 MOV HD video files (3:06:51). Abstract: Biologist and biology professor Tyrone Hayes (1967 - ) is a leading researcher in amphibian endocrinology. Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Hayes’s work has shown the herbicidal chemical Atrazine to act as an endocrine disruptor in the sexual development of frogs. Hayes was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on March 7, 2011, in Berkeley, California. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2011_001 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Biologist and biology professor Tyrone B. Hayes was born on July 29, 1967 in Columbia, South Carolina to Romeo and Susie Hayes. In the forests near Columbia, Hayes first became interested in the way that frogs morphed from tadpoles to their adult form. He graduated from Dreher High School in 1985 and then earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees in biology in 1989 from Harvard University. His dissertation on the genetic and environmental mechanisms determining the gender of the wood frog would be indicative of the research he would pursue later. After graduating from Harvard University, Hayes continued his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received his Ph.D.

Hayes* (University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA), WuQiang Fan, Toshihiko Yanase, Hidetaka Morinaga, Shigeki Gondo, Taijiro Okabe, and Masatoshi Nomura (Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan), Tomoko Komatsu, Ken-Ichirou Morohashi (Department of Developmental Biology, National Institute for Basic Biology, Okazaki, Japan), Ryoichi Takayanagi, and Hajime Nawata (Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan) Background and hypothesis: Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that increases aromatase expression and estrogen production in some human cancer cell lines. The mechanism involves the inhibition of phosphodiesterase and subsequent elevation of cAMP. We hypothesized that the transcription factor (SF-1) is important for atrazine’s activity. Methodology: We compared SF-1 expression in atrazine responsive and non-responsive cell lines and transfected SF-1 into non-responsive cell lines to assess SF-1’s role in atrazine-induced aromatase. We used a luciferase reporter driven by the SF-1 dependent aromatase promoter (ArPII) to examine activation of this promoter by atrazine. We mutated the SF-1 binding site to confirm the role of SF-1. Finally, we examined atrazine and simazine’s ability to bind to SF-1 and enhance SF-1 binding to ArPII. Results: Atrazine-responsive adrenal carcinoma cells (H295R) expressed 54 times more SF-1 than non- responsive ovarian granulosa KGN cells. Exogenous SF-1 conveyed atrazine-responsiveness to otherwise non-responsive KGN and NIH/3T3 cells. Atrazine induced binding of SF-1 to chromatin and mutation of the SF-1 binding site in ArPII eliminated SF-1 binding and atrazine-responsiveness in H295R cells.

Introduction The herbicide atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-S-triazine) is one of the most widely studied, commonly used, and controversial pesticides on the planet. A search for the term “atrazine” in the search engine Web of Science (conducted on 11/17/2016) produced 11,203 studies. Atrazine was the most commonly used pesticide in the United States before it was recently surpassed by the herbicide glyphosate (Roundup®), which happened because of the advent of genetically modified crops (Grube et al., 2011).

  • Effects of Atrazine on Testes in Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles and Juveniles
    E F F E C T O F A T R A Z I N E O N T E S T E S I N X E N O P U S L A E V I S T A D P O L E S A N D J U V E N I L E S A Report of a Senior Study by Travis Groth Major: Biology Maryville College Fall, 2005 Date Approved _____________, by ________________________ Faculty Supervisor Date Approved _____________, by ________________________ Editor ABSTRACT Environmental contaminants in recent years have been researched because of a speculated correlation with the decline in amphibian populations (Boyer & Grue, 1994; Carey & Bryant, 1995). Atrazine is the world’s most commonly used herbicide (Leu, Singer, Stamm, Muller, & Schwarzenbach, 2004). Recent studies have found that atrazine inhibits the aromatase enzyme that triggers the conversion of androgens to estrogens (e.g., Reeder et al., 1998; Tavera-Mendoza et al., 2002; Hayes et al., 2003). This study exposed tadpole and one-year-old Xenopus laevis, the African clawed frog, to 2 ppb atrazine to see whether or not there were any adverse side effects on gonad organization and activation. Histology slides were made of the gonads. Experimental results demonstrated that atrazine-exposed frogs had slightly larger testes and more seminiferous tubules than did the control frogs. Although slight differences were found, none of the results were significant. A future study that exposes tadpoles at developmental stages below stage 52, which is when gonad differentiation is presumed to occur, would be beneficial in determining whether or not atrazine affects development of the gonads in X.

  • Web Conference with Dr. Tyrone Hayes
    Web Conference with Dr. Tyrone Hayes - 00:00 My interest in amphibians and all the kind of stuff I do now starts way, way back. I grew up in South Carolina in an area where amphibians and reptiles and well, animals in general were just abundant. And in particular I've been interested in amphibians because of their dual lifestyle. That they depend on the water and then they have this terrestrial component to their life. But I think most importantly, the fact that they have no egg shells, and that the eggs are just there in the water and as a child I could watch them develop and turn into tadpoles and turn into frogs and that whole developmental process simply fascinated me since the time I was a child. Long story short, I went from South Carolina to Harvard with very little, oh how can I say, it wasn't a strategic decision so I only applied to one school, I was a first generation high school graduate on my father's side of the family and the whole process was foreign to me. And Harvard did some good recruiting and I'd heard of the place and so that's where I ended up. And I went into Harvard knowing that I was interested in science, knowing that I was interested in experiments and animals and amphibians, but had no idea what career path one took when you enjoyed doing those kinds of things. Luckily I ended up as a freshman with a professor, Bruce Waldmen? Actually in a summer REU, in an NSF REU program.

  • Panel I: What We're up Against
    Panel I: What We’re Up Against Ruby Acevedo, Yana Garcia, Dr. Tyrone Hayes, Geneva Thompson, Dr. Mike Wilson, Miya Yoshitani YANA GARCIA: Good morning. Thank you to Mustafa for that incredible opening. My name is Yana Garcia. I am not going to take too much time because I have a lot of really incredible panelists that I want you all to hear from. But I want to pull from a theme that Mustafa left us with that I think is really strong for not just this morning, but today. Our panel is called What We’re Up Against. We do not want to leave folks with the impression that what we have before us is a long list of challenges that we all face. Although that is the case in many instances, and today it is very obvious what the challenges before us are, and we can often feel like we are in times of crisis. Instead I really want you all to understand the opportunities that arise in some of these challenge areas and what the work is that we can do to embrace those opportunities. We mentioned the Green New Deal. I think in this time of climate crisis there is an opportunity to go back and hopefully do our best to address some of the racial, social, and economic inequities that have long persisted in this country. I am the assistant secretary for environmental justice and tribal affairs at the California Environmental Protection Agency.1 I want to take a moment and honor the movements that have led to positions like mine, and to positions like Mustafa’s, and all of those who have come before me, and to honor the land that we stand on and the people who have been here for a long time—the Ohlone folks of this area.

  • New Yorker Article About Tyrone Hayes
    Save paper and follow @newyorker on Twitter Annals of Science FEBRUARY 10, 2014 ISSUE A Valuable Reputation After Tyrone Hayes said that a chemical was harmful, its maker pursued him. BY RACHEL AVIV Hayes has devoted the past fifteen years to studying atrazine, a widely used herbicide made by Syngenta. The company’s notes reveal that it struggled to make sense of him, and plotted ways to discredit him. PHOTOGRAPH BY DAN WINTERS. n 2001, seven years after joining the biology faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, Tyrone Hayes stopped talking aIbout his research with people he didn’t trust. He instructed the students in his lab, where he was raising three thousand frogs, to hang up the phone if they heard a click, a signal that a third party might be on the line. Other scientists seemed to remember events differently, he noticed, so he started carrying an audio recorder to meetings. “The secret to a happy, successful life of paranoia,” he liked to say, “is to keep careful track of your persecutors.” Three years earlier, Syngenta, one of the largest agribusinesses in the world, had asked Hayes to conduct experiments on the herbicide atrazine, which is applied to more than half the corn in the United States. Hayes was thirty-one, and he had already published twenty papers on the endocrinology of amphibians. David Wake, a professor in Hayes’s department, said that Hayes “may have had the greatest potential of anyone in the field.” But, when Hayes discovered that atrazine might impede the sexual development of frogs, his dealings with Syngenta became strained, and, in November, 2000, he ended his relationship with the company.

  • Endocrine Disruptors, Intersex Frogs, and the Logics of Environmental Science
    Troubling Figures: Endocrine Disruptors, Intersex Frogs, and the Logics of Environmental Science Logan Natalie O’Laughlin Duke University [email protected] Abstract This essay examines the figure of the pesticide-exposed intersex frog, a canary in the coal mine for public endocrinological health. Through feminist science studies and critical discourse analysis, I explore the fields that bring this figure into being (endocrinology, toxicology, and pest science) and the colonial and racial logics that shape these fields. In so doing, I attend to the multiple nonhuman actors shaping this figure, including the pesky weeds and insects who prompt pesticides’ very existence, “male” frogs who function as test subjects, and systemic environmental racism that disproportionately exposes people of color to environmental toxicants. I encourage careful examination of galvanizing environmental figures like this toxic intersex frog and I offer a method to do so. Introduction “The second most commonly used pesticide [in the United States], atrazine,…led one of my frogs to develop a set of testes here, ovaries here, another testis, and more ovaries…which is NOT normal, even for amphibians,” chuckles Dr. Tyrone Hayes while gesturing to the image of a frog’s gonads in his 2010 TED Talk (Hayes & Chaffer, 2010; Figure 1). In his words, atrazine makes frogs “abnormal,” “gender-bending,” “homosexual,” and therefore “unsuccessful at mating” (Hayes et al., 2002; Hayes et al., 2003; Hayes & Chaffer, 2010). Other environmental scientists have studied the concerning effects of toxicants on frogs. For instance, O’Laughlin, Logan Natalie. (2020).

AN ECOFEMINIST, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PERSpeCTIVE ON THE RHETORIC OF CHOICE GRETA GAARD This essay develops an ecofeminist, environmental justice perspective on the shortcomings of “choice” rhetoric in the politics of women’s repro- ductive self-determination, specifically around fertility-enhancing tech- nologies. These new reproductive technologies (NRTs) medicalize and thus depoliticize the contemporary phenomenon of decreased fertility in first-world industrialized societies, personalizing and privatizing both the problem and the solution when the root of this phenomenon may be more usefully addressed as a problem of PCBs, POPs, and other toxic by-products of industrialized culture that are degrading our personal and environmental health. The NRTs’ rhetoric of choice is implicitly an- tifeminist: it blames the victim by attributing rising infertility rates to middle-class women who delay childbearing while struggling to launch careers; it conceals information about adverse health effects and solicits egg donation and gestation services from women disadvantaged by eco- nomic status, nation, and age; and it offers no choice at all for the mil- ETHICS & THE ENVIRONMENT, 15(2) 2010 ISSN: 1085-6633 ©Indiana University Press All rights of reproduction in any form reserved.

  • There Is No Denying This: Defusing the Confusion About Atrazine
    Forum There Is No Denying This: Defusing the Confusion about Atrazine TYRONE B. HAYES Recent studies from my laboratory, showing the chemical castration (demasculinization) and feminization of amphibians by low but ecologically relevant concentrations of atrazine in the laboratory and in the wild, prompted a critical response from atrazine’s manufacturer, Syngenta Crop Protection, and Syngenta-funded scientists. A careful analysis of the published data funded by Syngenta, and of several studies submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by the Syngenta-funded panel for data evaluation, indicates that the data presented in these studies are not in disagreement with my laboratory’s peer-reviewed, published data. Further, the published and unpublished data presented to the EPA by the Syngenta-funded panel (and touted in the popular press) suffer from contaminated laboratory controls; high mortality; inappropriate measure- ments of hormone levels in stressed, sexually immature animals during nonreproductive seasons; and contaminated reference sites. The confound- ing factors in the industry-funded studies severely limit any conclusions about the adverse effects of atrazine on amphibians and prevent meaningful comparisons with my laboratory’s published data. Keywords: atrazine, amphibian, endocrine disruptor, chemical castration, feminization ears have passed since DDT was banned in the Endocrine Ecological Risk Assessment Panel, a group funded YUnited States, but it is unclear how much policymak- by the manufacturer of atrazine, Syngenta Crop Protection, ers and the public have learned from the case of this dangerous through the consulting company Ecorisk, Inc.
