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.

  • Full of clovers and dandelions, with a hard-wearing rye grass, the approach is environmentally friendly and usable

    Is there a perfect formula for a hard-wearing flower lawn that is good for pollinators, dogs and people?

    The immaculately mown green has fallen out of favour in recent years owing to its lack of support for biodiversity. But there have also been complaints about the tall wildflower meadows that grow during “no mow May” and are less usable for humans and pets.

  • Hundreds of projects supported by USAID have been thrown into doubt, as fears grow of an increase in crimes such as poaching and trafficking

    When the guns finally fell silent in 1992, little was left alive in Gorongosa national park. During the 15 years of Mozambique’s civil war – in which more than a million people died – the country’s wildlife also paid a terrible price. Poaching for meat and ivory was so intense that the small surviving elephant population rapidly evolved to lose their tusks. Leopards, wild dogs and spotted hyenas had all disappeared. Populations of zebra, buffalo and other herbivores had collapsed.

    In the following years, a huge effort to restore the park took shape. Led by the philanthropist Gregory Carr and Mozambique’s government, it was the start of the park’s journey to becoming one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife conservation success stories. Today, elephants, lions, hippos, antelope, painted wolves, hyenas and leopards all thrive in the park once again – thanks to work that for the past 20 years has been supported by a long-term partnership with USAID.

  • Experts say previous economic models underestimated impact of global heating – as well as likely ‘cascading supply chain disruptions’

    Economic models have systematically underestimated how global heating will affect people’s wealth, according to a new study that finds 4C warming will make the average person 40% poorer – an almost four-fold increase on some estimates.

    The study by Australian scientists suggests average per person GDP across the globe will be reduced by 16% even if warming is kept to 2C above pre-industrial levels. This is a much greater reduction than previous estimates, which found the reduction would be 1.4%.

  • Perhaps the most awe-inspiring of over 2,000 species is the amber comet, thought to only remain in Texas and Mexico

    If invertebrates are mostly unheralded workers that keep life on Earth ticking over, then fireflies are the rare flamboyant stars that help make that life worth living. They are Elton John in platform shoes and outlandish glasses at his piano, they are Sabrina Carpenter in a glamorous dress as she drops her towel on stage.

    Much like a Hollywood starlet who lounges around all day in a dressing gown eating crisps only to emerge later in stunning fashion on the red carpet, fireflies are creatures of the night, where their spectacular light shows both enchant and confound us.

    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.

  • Exclusive: Moetai Brotherson fears environmental risks of controversial practice and says independence from France must not be ‘rushed’

    French Polynesia’s president has issued a stark warning over the risks of deep-sea mining, saying it will be allowed in his territory “over my dead body” as he argues the potential for environmental damage outweighs any benefits.

    Moetai Brotherson’s comments to the Guardian come as countries in the Pacific and elsewhere grapple with whether to extract minerals from the sea floor. Deep-sea mining has not yet begun, but some companies and countries are exploring the practice, which could start in the coming years.

  • Wincle, Cheshire: These UK winter visitors herald their departure by tuning their voices to the flock’s exuberant tuneless wanderings

    On the path to Wincle Minn, I heard redwings singing from the treetops. It was notable because, while 700,000 of them winter in these islands, barely 50 stay to breed. Yet the birds migrating back to Iceland or Scandinavia, lulled by increases in day length and temperature, start to tune up until the whole flock catches this pre-song habit. The collective voices mark a very specific moment in the year and, as much as the sight of a swallow, tuneless late March redwing rehearsals speak only of spring.

    It wasn’t so much a sound as a soundscape or sonic atmosphere: a seamless layer of twittering mixed with awkward rubbery squalling, yet also scraps of sweetness. A recurrent element was a five-six note running of scales, up or down, with a hint of song thrush but of song thrush song stuttering, or as if the phrases had spilled out inadvertently.

  • Locals are feeling the impact of the more than 17,000 tonnes of uncollected rubbish in the city’s streets

    “I’m afraid to open my front door, they’re everywhere,” said Mary Dore, eyeing the ground outside her house in Balsall Heath suspiciously. “They run out from under the cars when you get in, they’re going in the engines. They chewed through the cables in my son’s car, costing him god knows how much.

    “There’s one street I can’t walk my dog because they come running out of the grass and the piles of rubbish. One time I screamed.”

  • New Zealand’s docile, solitary and elusive ‘god of ugly things’ does wonders for the forest-floor ecosystem

    Are you sick of throwing yourself on the altar of unrealistic beauty standards? Do you long to celebrate the delightfully monstrous, to give the spiny stuff of shadows their day in the sun? Then consider the mighty wētāpunga – an endemic New Zealand insect so revered for its unconventional beauty its name means “god of ugly things”.

    This forest behemoth is thought to be the heaviest adult insect in the world, with a female weighing as much as a mouse or a sparrow. Its body can grow up to 10cm long (nearly 4in) and its leg span can be as wide as 20cm. Once found across parts of the North Island, the vulnerable wētāpunga – the largest of 70 wētā species – now resides entirely on a smattering of predator-free islands near Auckland.

    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.

  • Northern Ontario is seeing a ‘shorter window’ for ice roads that deliver vital supplies to remote First Nations

    At first there was no answer on the satellite phone. But on the third call, Donald Meeseetawageesic heard his sister’s voice. “We need somebody to come and tow us out,” he told her.

    It was a warmer-than-normal night in early March and Meeseetawageesic, the elected band councillor for Eabametoong First Nation, was stranded in a 4x4 truck on the dark winter road leading to his community. The tyres were stuck in the deep snow and the temperature outside was below freezing. Help was about 60km (37 miles) away.

  • These creatures evolved over millenia to create nature’s finest circular economy, but are now struggling to survive

    There’s no preparing for a first encounter with a thriving coral reef: your attention ricochets between dramas of colour, form and movement. A blaze of fire coral, darting clown fish, crimson sponge, electric blue ray … a turtle! Your heart soars, your head spins. Nowhere else will you encounter such density and diversity of life.

    Corals are the architects of all this splendour. Their immobile forms suggest plants, but they’re animals – solar-powered ones. Each is a colony of thousands, sometimes millions, of tiny coral polyps, each resembling a slimmed-down sea anemone, just millimetres tall.

    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.
