Opasni otrovi!

Opasni otrovi!

Kad bi netko napunio sprej s potencijalno smrtonosnim otrovom i išao okolo nasumce prskajući ljude, svi bi, uključujući i policiju, reagirali i zaustavili tu antisocijalnu akcjiu.

Pismo poslano hrvatskom zavodu za javno zdravstvo 12. lipnja 2024., nakon još jednog skandaloznog primjera neodgovornog prskanja otrova protiv insekata.

Potkraj 2023. Europski parlament i Europska komisija pokazali su da nisu voljni ili sposobni zaštititi europske građane od štetnih učinaka kemijskih pesticida. Dakle, što treba učiniti?

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

Tu ćete naći detaljni popis mnogih kemijskih pesticida koje koriste privatnici i / ili lokalne vlasti na Hvaru i u drugim mjestima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Navedeni su i  mogući štetni učinci spomenutih otrova po stručnoj literaturi i prema informaciji u Fitosanitarnom informacijskom sustavu (FIS) (popis dozvoljenih kemijski pesticida za 'zaštitu bilja') i u Registru biocidnih preparata koji vodi Ministarstvo zdravstva (MIZ). 

Dokazi iz stručne literature koliko su štetni herbicidi na bazi glifosata. 

Nakon nekoliko godina istraživanja, Eco-Hvar došao je do zaključka da ljudi koji kupuju, koriste i/ili preporučuju kemijske pesticide znaju vrlo malo ili ništa o opasnostima otrova s kojim imaju posla. Vlada zbunjenost. Eco-Hvar pruža činjenične informacije koja može pomoći bolje razumjeti probleme.

Rezultati testiranja ljudi na pesticide putem uzoraka kose. Testiranje ljudi na pesticide na Hvaru je projekt Udruge Eco Hvar koji je u tijeku. Laboratorij Kudzu u Francuskoj testirao je uzorke na 100 pesticida. Ovo su preliminarni rezultati.

Rezultati testiranja uzorka prašine preuzetog 22.06.2021.

Ratovanje protiv prirode, uz pomoć pesticida? neprihvatljivo ponašanje, taj rat se vodi potpuno uzalud.

Propisi, registri i zakoni vezani za pesticide: pružamo vodič kroz sustav u nadležnosti i pregled nekih od problema koji uporaba pesticida uzrokuje.

Korištenje kemijskih otrova izmaklo se kontroli u velikom dijelu modernog svijeta. Zaštitne mjere u teoriji postoje, u praksi su nedovoljne. Na svakoj je razini odgovornosti potrebno unaprijediti praksu. Ovo su naši prijedlozi kako postići nužna unapređenja.

Pčele umiru zastrašujućom brzinom. Čovječanstvo okrutno uništava biološku raznolikost.

Program uništavanja komaraca uzrokuje ekološku katastrofu!

Već nekoliko godina, lokalna vlast u Jelsi, Starom Gradu i Hvaru rutinski ulicama prska sredstva protiv komaraca, mušica i drugih „letećih štetočina“. Je li to dobra stvar?

Hoću li se zateći vozeći se kroz toksičnu maglu kemikalija ako uhvatim trajekt u 20:30 iz Splita? To je bilo moje pitanje u srijedu 27. rujna 2017. godine. Akcija 'zamagljivanja' za suzbijanje insekata se trebala provoditi na području Općine Jelsa s početkom u 22 sata i trajati do 4 sata ujutro.

Nakon više godina promatranja, Udruga Eco Hvar je zaključila da je program suzbijanja komaraca, kako se provodi na Hvaru i u drugim djelovima Hrvatske, nepotreban, uzaludan i rizičan.

Eco Hvar se obratio pismom uz materijal u vezi dezinfekcije, dezinsekcije i deratizacije (DDD-a) Ministru zdravstva, te državnim i lokalnim institucijama koje su nadležne za ekološka i zdravstvena pitanja, jer smo mišljenja da se obvezna DDD ne provodi na odgovarajući način, niti se radi sredstvima koja su neškodljiva za ljude, životinje, i druge korisne insekte (npr. pčele).

Zahvalni smo što je Načelnik Općine Jelse Nikša Peronja uputio pismo Nastavnom zavodu za javno zdravstvo Splitsko-dalmatinske županije, tražeći očitovanje na našu zabrinutost u vezi prakse dezinsekcije na Hvaru. Uz Načelnika, drugi službenici iz Općine su nam pomogli ukoliko su mogli sa našim istraživanjima kroz nekoliko godina, osobito g. Ivica Keršić, Pročelnik JUO, g. Ivan Grgičević, bivši Zamjenik Načelnika, sadašnji Predsjednik općinskog vijeća, i gđa. Vlatka Buj, sadašnja Zamjenica načelnika - puno Vam hvala na suradnju!

Ubod pčele može u osjetljivih osoba uzrokovati ozbiljnu alergijsku reakciju. Prema sadašnjim hrvatskim zakonima su svi insekti, koji uzrokuju alergijske reakcije podložni godišnjem programu suzbijanja.

Baš kao što se problemi sa komarcima neće riješiti insekticidima, tako ni štetočine nikako nisu kontrolirane uporabom otrova.

Izraz očajnog terora na majmunčevu licu nezaboravna je slika, noćna mora svakome tko je iole empatičan prema žrtvama mučenja, bio to čovjek ili životinja. Životinje su najveće žrtve opasnih kemikalija.

U Europskoj Uniji je od 1. listopada 2016. godine zabranjeno korištenje Roundup-a (u Hrvatskoj Cidokor) i 11 drugih sličnih herbicida na bazi glifosata. Ova zabrana bi trebala probuditi sve korisnike, pristaše i promotore uporabe pesticida.

Pesticides safe? Pull the other one, it's got bells on!

The manufacturers have claimed that the herbicide Roundup, whose active ingredient is glyphosate, is "safe enough to drink", and many people are naive enough to believe this.

Postoje li alternative kemijskim pesticidima? Da, naravno.

Svjetska zdravstena organizacija je objavila stručan rad o mogućoj kancerogenosti glifoast herbicida već u ožuju 2015.

The Green Group of the European Parliament organized urine tests for the herbicide glyphosate on 48 volunteer MEPs. 

The practice of spraying the roads with insecticides in the summertime is potentially harmful and needs urgent review.

Vrijeme je, da se opametite! Pogledajte oko sebe, što se to događa?

  • Former federal employees devastated by president’s mass firings: ‘We’re at risk of losing our public lands to the billionaire agenda’

    Approximately 2,300 people have been terminated from the agencies that manage the 35m acres (14m hectares) of federal public lands in the US.

    These are our lands. They encompass national parks and forests, wilderness and marine protected areas, scenic rivers. They are home to campgrounds, river accesses, hiking trails and myriad other sites and facilities that more than 500 million people visit each year.

  • North Norfolk: Every morning, an endless flow of pink-footed geese passes overhead. Their comings and goings define the day

    The first thing you hear is a raucous cacophony in the distance, ebbing and flowing. Then the first small specks appear, and soon the sky is filled with a seemingly never-ending flow of geese.

    These are pink-footed geese, who migrate to north Norfolk at the start of winter along with hundreds of thousands of other geese. They come here to escape the harsh winters of Siberia, Iceland and Greenland, where they breed. Norfolk has an abundance of food compared to the Arctic: leaves, berries, seeds and crop remains.

  • Southern Ocean waves are growing larger and faster, threatening coastlines. But some scientists think they could help turn the tide in the climate crisis

    In his remarkable memoir of his life chasing breaks in far-flung corners of the globe, Barbarian Days, the writer William Finnegan describes the “spooky duality” of waves, the way that, “when you are absorbed in surfing they seem alive. They each have personalities, distinct and intricate, and quickly changing moods, to which you must react in the most intuitive, almost intimate way – too many people have likened riding waves to making love. And yet waves are of course not alive, not sentient, and the lover you reach to embrace may turn murderous without warning.”

    This idea of duality is difficult to avoid when thinking about waves. In them we see energy and matter collapse into each other, find fluidity with structure and form, and the eternal in the transient, apprehend both beauty and symmetry and violence and terror. Likewise, the physics of waves are simultaneously very simple and impossibly complex, the non-linear nature of fluid dynamics meaning they can remain relatively regular or combine without warning into rogue waves capable of sweeping people off rocks and sinking ships.

  • US government stripping funds from domestic and overseas research amid warnings for health and public safety

    The Trump administration is stripping away support for scientific research in the US and overseas that contains a word it finds particularly inconvenient: “climate.”

    The US government is withdrawing grants and other support for research that even references the climate crisis, academics have said, amid Donald Trump’s blitzkrieg upon environmental regulations and clean-energy development.

  • Consumed by anger and still mourning a brother and bandmate, the British quartet have written their masterpiece. They explain how they’re fighting self-loathing and trying to age responsibly

    In a world of low royalties and short attention spans, not many bands make it to 11 albums, much less have their 11th be their masterpiece. But over the course of 20 years, the metalquartet Architects have inched towards this milestone. The Sky, the Earth & All Between sets out its scale in its title, where gigantic pop choruses soar over hellish chasms of churning noise, resulting in the most consistently sublime British rock album of this decade. The band are now at their arena-filling, Metallica-supporting peak, adored by millions.

    “But it means nothing,” says frontman, Sam Carter. “Because you don’t believe it. If you can’t access that part of you that lets it in, then it’s pointless.” Drummer and lyricist, Dan Searle, is equally downcast. “I punish myself, I loathe myself,” he says evenly, blinking behind his glasses. “I feel like I’m shit at everything.” Across two decades, the band have been buffeted by poor mental health, creative differences and an instance of particularly traumatic grief. While the pair are quick to joke during our long conversation in a London photo studio, and are clearly ravenously ambitious, I have never met a rock band as candid about their frailties.

  • Residents in Topanga Canyon – an area of Indigenous heritage and artists – mobilized against the state’s decision to bring in hazardous materials after wildfires

    Twenty years ago, it was called Rodeo Grounds – an eclectic neighborhood of artists, musicians and surfers living in beach shacks where Topanga Canyon meets the Pacific Ocean. In a bizarre agreement with the former owner some paid as little as $100 a month for rent, raising multiple generations of their families here since the 1950s. But that was before the state purchased the property and started evicting residents in 2001. Julie Howell, who once owned Howell-Green Fine Art Gallery further up in the canyon, says the bohemians were kicked out.

    “I actually had a show in my gallery 20 years ago for the group of artists who lived there at Rodeo Grounds, who they kicked out of that spot because it was so environmentally sensitive,” says Howell.

  • Residents battle food shortages and health issues after vast areas of forest and farmland burned last year

    As she walks away from the house where she raised her family, Isabel Surubí pauses to point at the bed of a stream, now covered with dry leaves, that once supplied her entire community. “The water used to come from here,” she says.

    In 2024, wildfires in Bolivia burned more than 10m hectares (about 39,000 sq miles) of forest, farmland and savannah – an area greater than the size of Portugal. After the fires, and the drought that preceded them, the spring feeding Surubí’s village of Los Ángeles in Bolivia’s tropical dry forest ran dry.
