Pesticidi - Zašto Ne

UPOTREBA KEMIJSKIH PESTICIDA U SADAŠNJIM KOLIČINAMA NIJE NI SIGURNA NI ODRŽIVA!

Pesticidi - Zašto Ne

UPOTREBA KEMIJSKIH PESTICIDA je rasprostranjena, ne samo u agrokulturi („proizvodi za zaštitu bilja“), nego i u raznim industrijama, uključujući proizvodnju lijekova, tekstila, namještaja i kozmetike (biocidi).

U PRAKSI SE NE POŠTUJE PRAVO JAVNOSTI DA ZNA KOJI SU OTROVI PRISUTNI U PROIZVODIMA I HRANI KOJU KORISTI

UPOZORENJA O MOGUĆIM ŠTETNIM UČINCIMA KEMIJSKIH PESTICIDA NA LJUDSKO ZDRAVLJE I OKOLIŠ POTPUNO SU NEADEKVATNA

LJUDSKO PRAVO NA IZBOR ALTERNATIVNIH SREDSTAVA BEZ PESTICIDA JE NARUŠENO

NEISPRAVNE MJERE ZAŠTITE

ODOBRENJA I OBNOVE dodjeljuju se na temelju neobjavljenih studija 'sigurnosti' koje financira industrija.

NEOVISNE STUDIJE objavljene u recenziranim časopisima ne uzimaju se u obzir.

PRODULJENJA ODOBRENJA za godinu dana ili više dodjeljuju se često automatski.

PRIVREMENA ODOBRENJA mogu se izdati za pesticide koji su još uvijek u fazi procjene.

KANDIDATI ZA ZAMJENU su pesticidi za koje se zna da su vrlo opasni po zdravlje, ali su ipak dopušteni dok se ne proizvede alternativa.

„SIGURNOSNE RAZINE“ opasnih ostataka kemijskih pesticida u hrani (Maximum Residual Levels - MRLs) čisto su teoretske i temelje se na pojedinačnim tvarima, a ne i na njihovim kombinacijama kako se te tvari najčešće pojavljuju u hrani.

„SIGURNOSNI“ TESTOVI uključuju neprihvatljivo mučenje stotina različitih životinja.

ZABRANAMA opasnih pesticida treba godinama da dospiju na snagu i ni tada se ne provode odmah.

ODSTUPANJA se mogu koristiti kako bi se zaobišle zabrane.

RIZICI ZA PČELE, DRUGE OPRAŠIVAČE I PTICE nisu uključeni u brojnim primarnim upozorenjima o opasnosti koja su dio označavanja pesticida u EU.

NAVODNE KORISTI pesticidnih proizvoda snažno promoviraju proizvođači i zakonodavci, kao i mnoge vlade, regionalne i lokalne vlasti, zdravstvene vlasti, agronomi kao i prodavači krajnjih proizvoda.

KORISNICI PESTICIDA nisu prikladno informirani ili educirani o opasnostima koje dolaze s pesticidima.

VELIKE AGRO-KEMIJSKE TVRTKE nemilosrdno se protive svakom pokušaju smanjenja upotrebe pesticida u svijetu.

ALTERNATIVE KEMIJSKIM PESTICIDIMA u poljoprivredi ne promiču se poljoprivrednicima niti vrtlarima ni na jednoj konkretnoj razini.

RAZINE PESTICIDA U LJUDIMA i njihova moguća povezanost s lošim zdravljem nisu sustavno istražene.

  • ‘They’re beautiful’: 13-year-olds lead audacious project to save harvest mice in Devon

    Spurred into action by the species’ threatened future, two best friends embarked on a project to release 250 of the animals in Devon

    Doing somersaults in the corner of a field in Devon this week were the fluffy results of an audacious wildlife project by two 13-year-old girls.

    Best friends Eva Wishart and Emily Smith had become devoted to harvest mice, and were upset, a couple of years ago, to find out the species is threatened in England due to farming practices and habitat loss.

  • Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds

    Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

    The collapse of a critical Atlantic current can no longer be considered a low-likelihood event, a study has concluded, making deep cuts to fossil fuel emissions even more urgent to avoid the catastrophic impact.

    The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc) is a major part of the global climate system. It brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. The Amoc was already known to be at its weakest in 1,600 years as a result of the climate crisis.

  • Humans inhale as much as 68,000 microplastic particles daily, study finds

    Particles are small enough to burrow into lungs, says report, with health impacts ‘more substantial than we realize’

    Every breath people take in their homes or car probably contains significant amounts of microplastics small enough to burrow deep into lungs, new peer-reviewed research finds, bringing into focus a little understood route of exposure and health threat.

    The study, published in the journal Plos One, estimates humans can inhale as much as 68,000 tiny plastic particles daily. Previous studies have identified larger pieces of airborne microplastics, but those are not as much of a health threat because they do not hang in the air as long, or move as deep into the pulmonary system.

  • Chemical companies lobbying MPs not to ban Pfas

    Exclusive: Analysis of responses shows firms are urging parliamentarians to limit regulation of ‘forever chemicals’

    Chemical firms are lobbying MPs not to ban “forever chemicals” in the same way as proposed in the EU, using arguments disputed by scientists and described as “big tobacco playbook” tactics, it can be revealed.

    Pfas, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and commonly known as forever chemicals owing to their persistence in the environment, are a family of about 10,000 chemicals, some of which have been linked to a wide range of serious illnesses, including certain cancers. They are used across a range of industries, from cosmetics to firefighting.

  • ‘A perfect symbiosis’: planting vines and other ways hot cities are creating cool spaces

    Living – or crocheted – canopies and a 3,000-year-old Persian technique are among methods being used to cope as temperatures soar

    As Spain takes a breath after yet another brutal summer heatwave, with temperatures above 40C in many parts of the country, the residents of the sherry-making town of Jerez de la Frontera have come up with a novel way to keep the streets cool.

    Green canopies of grapevines festoon the town, reducing street-level temperatures by as much as 8C. “We’re planting vines in the old city because we hope that in two or three years we’ll be able to brag that this has put an end to stifling temperatures,” said Jesús Rodríguez, president of Los Emparrados, a group of residents who aim to beautify and green the city’s streets.

  • Heat pumps could halve heating bills with energy system reform, study finds

    Steps to make electricity cheaper, such as ending levies, could transform prospects for pumps, thinktank shows

    Heat pumps could save households hundreds of pounds a year on heating bills, if the government took simple measures to reform the energy system, an analysis has found.

    The average household’s heating bills could be roughly halved, saving about £375 a year with a heat pump instead of a gas boiler, if steps were taken to make electricity cheaper.

  • Post-it notes and tiny trackers: behind the race to stop Asian hornets thriving in the UK

    The invaders present a devastating threat to Britain’s pollinators – constant watchfulness and clever technology are needed to thwart their progress

    Were it not for the bags of destroyed hornets nests in the corner, you could be forgiven for confusing Peter Davies’ office with the set of a TV detective show. Maps dotted with Post-it notes cover the wall in the repurposed hotel suite just off the M20 in Kent. There is no natural light: the only window looks down on an atrium below, and is partly obscured by a flip chart with the plan for the day. From here, Davies and his team run the national command centre for holding back the Asian hornet, an invasive species that preys on honeybees and other pollinators.

    “In effect, I’m the incident commander to tackle the hornet. We have a forward operating base at the hotel so we can get anywhere in Kent quickly, because that’s where we’ve had the most incursions,” he says.

  • Activists blend science and folklore as they try to revive Somerset’s eel population

    Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Feargal Sharkey back campaign to save the animal, which once inspired placenames, songs and stories

    When the Somerset Levels flood in winter, their reed-fringed waterways swell into a glinting inland sea – haunting and half forgotten.

    Generations ago, these wetlands pulsed with the seasonal arrival of eels: twisting through rhynes – human-made water channels – and ditches in their thousands, caught in baskets, sung about in pubs and paid as rent to Glastonbury Abbey. Today those same waters flow more slowly, more sparsely: once-teeming channels now show only the barest traces of what was here.

  • ‘The tree is trying its best’: why New Yorkers are counting – and rating – every park tree

    Volunteers are tasked with logging about 150,000 park trees by hand – and for some, it’s become a strange obsession

    On a recent morning, as the late August sun began to beat down, a few dozen New Yorkers stood in the shade of one of the nearly 500 trees adorning Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, worrying a bit about hurting its feelings.

    We had already identified the species – bald cypress – thanks to its feathered leaves and “strong pyramidal shape”, measured its trunk’s circumference (17in; 43cm), and noted that its roots appeared normal, its leaves were healthy and its branches had suffered some damage from improper pruning. But now we were tasked with assigning the tree an overall grade – on a scale of “poor” to “excellent” – and no one seemed to want to say.

  • ‘It’s a warning, set to a dance beat’: Jon Batiste on his new song urging climate action 20 years after Katrina

    The global music star, whose home town of New Orleans was devastated by the hurricane in 2005, says ‘people power’ can change the world

    Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged his home town of New Orleans, Jon Batiste has released a new song imploring people to take action against climate change “by raising your voice, and insisting, and voting the right people into office”.

    “As an artist, you have to make a statement,” the global star said in an interview on Tuesday with the international media collaboration Covering Climate Now. “You got to bring people together. People power is the way that you can change things in the world.
