Opasni otrovi!

Opasni otrovi!

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and many other herbicides, was discussed in the EU Parliament on December 1st 2015.

Draft Motion for a Resolution prepared for the EU Parliamentary Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, March 2016

A draft Motion prepared for the EU Parliamentary Committe for the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety in March 2016.

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

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

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

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

Postoje li alternative kemijskim pesticidima? Da, naravno.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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).

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.

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.

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?

Program uništavanja komaraca uzrokuje ekološku katastrofu!

Pčele umiru zastrašujućom brzinom. Čovječanstvo okrutno uništava biološku raznolikost.

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.

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

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

Rezultati testiranja uzorka prašine preuzetog 22.06.2021.

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 60 pesticida u 2021.god. i 100 pesticida od 2022.. Ovo su preliminarni rezultati.

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.

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

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). 

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

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?

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

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.

  • Labour’s measures to ban deep-peat burning aim to safeguard habitats, tackle carbon emissions, and protect wildlife, so why are hunters up in arms?

    Burning vegetation on deep peat will be banned under government plans to protect nature and reduce carbon emissions.

    Vegetation on peatland is often burned to create habitat for grouse, which like to feed on the fresh shoots of new plants that grow after the burn. This increases the number of birds available to be shot for sport.

  • South Africa’s Marion Island is a breeding ground for the birds, but their chicks are being eaten alive by rodents. Now, the world’s largest operation to eradicate the invasive species is about to get under way

    By 2015, scientists knew from camera trap evidence that mice were attacking albatross chicks on Marion Island, but no one had ever witnessed it first-hand on the small volcanic outcrop off the coast of South Africa. So, when researchers Stefan and Janine Schoombie came across a badly wounded wandering albatross chick in a relatively accessible part of the island, they resolved to return at night. After hiking for 30 minutes in the dark, Stefan started quietly setting up his camera equipment behind a rock. “We were expecting to have to stalk, but the mice were climbing all over us,” he says.

    It didn’t take long for the mice to start feeding on the albatross chick. “The bird was a complete fluffball,” says Janine. “So, they just climbed up its back and started nibbling at its head. We could see their teeth going into its flesh.” The bird, too young to walk let alone fly, could only shake its head in irritation. “As scientists our job is to not intervene,” says Stefan. “But we really wanted to help that bird.”

  • With a leg-span the size of your hand, the UK’s biggest spider, ultra-rare and known for its extraordinary hunting skills, has many admirers

    Meet an Olympian among Britain’s 660 spider species: a palm-of-the-hand-sized arachnid that hunts in three dimensions and can even devour fish.

    The fen raft spider (Dolomedes plantarius) is a magnificent ambush predator: harmless to humans but lethal if you’re a pond skater, tadpole or even adult dragonfly.

    Araneae have been feared and discriminated against throughout history

    Between 24 March and 2 April, we will be profiling a shortlist of 10 of the invertebrates chosen by readers and selected by our wildlife writers from more than 2,500 nominations. The voting for our 2025 invertebrate of the year will run from midday on Wednesday, 2 April until midday on Friday, 4 April, and the winner will be announced on Monday, 7 April.

  • Annual peak is lowest on record, covering 5.53m sq miles – about 30,000 sq miles below the previous low in 2017

    Winter sea ice in the Arctic has reached a record low in 2025, according to Nasa and the US’s National Snow and Ice Data Center. The annual peak, recorded on 22 March, was the lowest since records began 47 years ago, with sea ice covering just 5.53m sq miles – about 1.1m sq miles less than last year – and 30,000 sq miles below the previous low in 2017. The Gulf of St Lawrence had almost no ice, while the Sea of Okhotsk experienced notably lower than average sea ice extent.

    In late January, sea ice extent in the Arctic unexpectedly decreased, losing an area the size of Italy (more than 115,000 sq miles). This can be attributed to cyclones pushing southerly winds in the Barents and Bering seas, causing ocean waves that broke apart and melted thin ice at the edge of the ice sheet. Temperatures up to 12C above normal were recorded between northern Greenland and the north pole.

  • Long Dean, Cotswolds: This is a world – and a worldview – away from the rush to get lab-grown meat on to the market

    It’s a test of patience waiting for a calf. But in our closed (ie we don’t buy in) small-scale herd, ensuring successful delivery of new life is vital. I’m now several days into regularly checking for signs of labour. By day, I stride through the greening wood, spring’s symphony of birdsong overlaid by woodpecker percussion, and by night, moonlit or torchlit, I stumble, observed by owls but without pausing to dwell on what those dark scufflings might be. These calves have been nine months in the making, a few more days won’t matter. Nature, after all, dictates her own pace.

    By contrast, in the news recently, the Food Standards Agency is seeking to speed up the approval of lab-grown meat. These products, originating from animal cells, will be developed in small chemical plants before being processed to look like food, and it is claimed they are better for the environment and health. Putting aside the irony that they seem to be the “ultimate” in processed food, it might be that using science is the most “efficient” way to produce meat. But – pardoning the pun – there’s much more at stake here than that.

  • We asked 18 Republicans whose districts benefit most from Biden’s IRA climate law if they back Trump’s demands

    Billions of dollars in clean energy spending and jobs have overwhelmingly flowed to parts of the US represented by Republican lawmakers. But these members of Congress are still largely reticent to break with Donald Trump’s demands to kill off key incentives for renewables, even as their districts bask in the rewards.

    The president has called for the dismantling of the Inflation Reduction Act – a sweeping bill passed by Democrats that has helped turbocharge investments in wind, solar, nuclear, batteries and electric vehicle manufacturing in the US – calling it a “giant scam”. Trump froze funding allocated under the act and has vowed to claw back grants aimed at reducing planet-heating pollution.

  • The thylacine might walk again. Or Lake Pedder might rise again. The possibility of ecological restoration in the island state plays into the appeal of going back in time

    There is something about Tasmania that makes it a place where people want to restore the past, and not just because Tasmanians still regularly report seeing thylacines bounding off into the forest.

    Certainly, it’s a retro kind of place. The landed gentry are still a thing, the powerful families of modern Tasmania tracing their ancestry back to the original squatters, who either took the land by force or bought it from the colonial government, no questions asked. Georgian mansions scatter the rural landscape; in Hobart, convict hewn stone is a building material of choice. Nearly 70% of Tasmanians had both parents born in Australia (the overall figure for the country is 47%), and more than 80% identify with a white ancestry (65% for Australia as a whole). If you ignore the giant cruise ships, the Teslas and the puffer jackets, you could imagine yourself in mid-century Australia.

  • Riot of native wildflowers that enthralled visitors in the past several years have failed to sprout due to too little rain

    It’s one of the best known rites of spring in California: extraordinary displays known as “superblooms” that coat the hillsides in an abundance of color. Some years the blooms are massive enough to draw tourists from around the world to revel in the fields, such as in 2023 when more than 100,000 people showed up on a weekend to gawk at the poppies in Lake Elsinore, a small city about an hour outside Los Angeles.

    But this year, not so much. Thanks to a brutally dry winter, the hills around the usual southern California superbloom hotspots have been conspicuously bare. Callista Turner, a state park ranger, could count the number of blooms on two hands as she surveyed the 8 miles of rolling hills at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in the final week of March, which is typically when superbloom season peaks. “We’re still waiting to see what kind of season we have,” she says. “It’s a very slow start.”

  • The last two big storms to hit Mexico have left the city vulnerable to organised crime and in fear of the next climate shock

    Flora Montejo always dreamed of buying her own home. After almost three decades working as a nurse, the 68-year-old invested her retirement savings in a two-storey house in San Agustín, a working-class suburb of the Mexican resort town of Acapulco.

    Montejo’s retirement dream was shortlived. Not long after moving into her newly remodelled home, Hurricane John dumped record levels of rainfall on Acapulco, triggering landslides and flash floods after calm creeks turned into roaring rivers.
