Dezinsekcija: otvoreno pismo Općini Jelsa

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

S obzirom da praksa dezinsekcije na Otoku Hvaru stvori sve više problema za okoliš i ljudsko zdravlje, Udruga Eco Hvar je uputila otvoreno pismo preko maila lokalnoj zajednici na dan 13. kolovoza 2022.god.

Poštovani,

Predmet: Korištenje sredstava na bazi cipermetrina za dezinsekciju u Općini Jelsa.

Nažalost, akcije zaprašivanja protiv komaraca u Općini Jelsa još uvijek su razlog za zabrinutost. Kolateralne štete su ogromne i sve više vidljive. Mještani i gosti su izloženi opasnim otrovima. Mjere opreza uopće se ne poštuju. Lani je pčelar u Zavali izgubio svoje pčele nakon akcije dezinsekcije. Upozorenja nije bilo. To sve škodi kvaliteti života na otoku i naravno ima loš utjecaj na turizam.

Lani (2021.god.) za zaprašivanje su korištena tri sredstva na bazi piretroida: Neo alfa, Neopitroid alfa i Cipex 10E.

Na popisu registriranih biocidnih pripravaka pri Ministarstvu Zdravstva (Registar biocidnih pripravaka - studeni 2021.) aktivna tvar u Neo alfa je cipermetrin (broj pripravka 2674); alfacipermetrin nije na popisu; 'Neopitroid alfa' je biocidni pripravak na bazi alfacipermetrina, a nije na popisu dozvoljenih biocidnih pripravaka pri Ministarstvu Zdravstva u Hrvatskoj. Niti Cipex 10E (aktivna tvar cipermetrin) nije više na popisu dozvoljenih biocida.

Na europskoj bazi pesticida (EU Pesticides Database) cipermetrin ima dozvolu pod uvjetima namjenjenim zaštiti polinatora:

„dopuštene su samo uporabe izvan razdoblja cvatnje kultura te u razdoblju kada nisu prisutni korovi u cvatu.“ (više u privitku)

Europska agencija za kemikalije (ECHA) izdaje dozvole za biocidne pripravke. Piktogrami (ECHA Infocard u privitku) su dokaz da je cǐpermetrin opasna tvar i za ljude i za okoliš. Doduše je otrovan za mačke i opasan za pse. Nema trenutačno popisa dozvoljenih sredstava na bazi cipermetrina pri ECHA-u.

Cipermetrin, ECHA infocard

(na portalu Udruge Eco Hvar ima više detalja o dozvolama za pesticide: 'Pesticidi, zakoni i dozvole' i o mogućim nuspojavama pesticida: 'Pesticidni proizvodi u Hrvatskoj')

Udruga Eco Hvar već godinama upozorava da prakse dezinskecije uzrokuju puno problema, a nema nikakvog dokaza da su smanjile prisutnost komaraca - vidjeti naše članke 'Zašto trujemo naš raj? - poziv na buđenje!' i 'Insekti nam trebaju!'

HITNO zahtjevamo da ne bude opet prskanja u našoj Općini sa takvim sredstvima. Planirane akcije za ovaj mjesec se trebaju otkazati. Općina bi trebala voditi računa o praksi dezinsekcije i osigurati da mjere opreza, uključujući adekvatan nadzor, iz Plana provedbe se poštuju.

S poštovanjem,

Vivian Grisogono MA(Oxon)

  • Exclusive: Ministers accused of trying to keep investment firm’s withdrawal from partnership with NatureScot under wraps

    A funding deal to raise £100m from private investors for urgently needed nature restoration in Scotland has fallen through without the Scottish parliament being told.

    The Guardian has learned that Aberdeen, the investment firm, decided to withdraw from a partnership with the agency NatureScot to raise at least £100m for conservation projects from commercial and private investors late last year.

  • The government hails the ‘green revolution’ as a solution to economic decline, but some young jobseekers say the rhetoric does not match their experience

    On paper, Jake Snell, 19, sounds like the perfect candidate for a role in the UK’s burgeoning green energy sector. He has high grades in maths and physics A-level, a distinction in BTec engineering and another distinction in an extended engineering diploma. He has also done work experience at an engineering company.

    He is from Lowestoft, a coastal town in Suffolk, outside Great Yarmouth. Both towns contain areas that fall within the most deprived 20% in England and are part of a wider pattern of coastal places with low employment opportunities.

  • Amid growing evidence of fungi’s key role in ecosystems and storing carbon, mycologists seek greater recognition of the need to preserve ‘funga’ as much as flora and fauna

    Madagascar has long been celebrated for its remarkable wildlife, with the vast majority of its species – from ring-tailed lemurs to certain species of baobab trees – found nowhere else on the planet. But when discussing the island nation’s endemic treasures, fungi are often left out of the conversation.

    Yet “fungi are some of the most important things in the world”, says Anna Ralaiveloarisoa, a Malagasy scientist. “They feed 90% of terrestrial plants. Without them, there is no life on the Earth.”

  • A skull fragment found in a tray of unsorted fossils collected more than a century ago leads to discovery

    A prehistoric fossil, hiding in plain sight in museum storage for more than a century, has revealed that giant echidnas once roamed Victoria.

    The Owen’s giant echidna, Megalibgwilia owenii, lived during the Pleistocene, a geological epoch that began 2.5m years ago. It grew to about 1 metre long and weighed up to 15kg – about twice the size of Australia’s modern echidnas.

  • Dozens of feral pachyderms linked to drug kingpin to be killed because of threat to native species and villagers

    Colombian officials have authorized a plan to cull dozens of hippos descended from animals brought to the country in the 1980s by Pablo Escobar, after the feral beasts displaced native species and threatened local villagers.

    The environment minister, Irene Vélez, said the decision was reached because other methods to control their population had been expensive and unsuccessful, including neutering some of the animals or moving them to zoos. Vélez said that up to 80 hippos would be affected by the measure. She did not say when the hunting would begin.

  • Ventnor, Isle of Wight: On the hottest day of the year, both a wall lizard and I are having a good bask

    Up early for once. The moon’s still there, miraculous white ghost in the clear morning sky. If my eyes were better I might glimpse a capsule containing the four remarkable humans who have travelled further from our planet than anyone in history. With this knowledge, seeing the moon hits differently.

    I sit on the terrace, taking in the view. For Easter, this Londoner seeks tranquillity by the sea, and the Ventnor Undercliff – the Isle of Wight’s deep south – ticks both boxes. On a clear day you’ll believe you can see France.

  • Male humpback, which has repeatedly stranded and freed itself in Germany in past month, is to be left in peace to die

    When a 10-metre long humpback whale became stranded on a sandbar in the Baltic Sea last month, none of those who went to its rescue could have known how it might turn lives and livelihoods upside down.

    About a month after the first sighting of the male whale, near Wismar and Timmendorfer Strand on the north German coast, it has repeatedly stranded and freed itselfand is now stranded once more, with rescuers saying it is in the throes of death.

  • In Artemisa, the country’s agricultural heartland, sanctions and fuel shortages have made a tough life almost impossible

    Abraham Rodríguez stares at the corn furrows he must plough before the end of the day. It is not even noon in Artemisa, Cuba, but the sun beats down hard and he’s already tired: working the land is a tough job. He has done it for almost half his life, since he was 13 and his mother got a divorce. He is turning 26 this year.

    Farming has always been hard, he says, but now it is almost impossible to sustain. “I make 1,200 pesos (£1.80) a day, so I have to work two days to buy a bottle of oil.”

  • For long a dumping ground for pollutants, the Great Lake is being seeded with sensor buoys to make it the world’s largest digitally connected body of freshwater

    There was a time in the 1960s that the lakes and rivers around Cleveland were so polluted with petrochemicals and other contaminants that they frequently caught on fire.

    While water quality on Lake Erie today has improved since the days of it being used as a large-scale industrial dumping ground for steel mills and chemical plants, it still struggles with poor water quality.

  • Swedish retailer continued to advertise partnership with Soly and failed to offer me any advice

    I am one ofmany left thousands of pounds out of pocket after signing upfor solar panels via Ikea’s website late lastyear.

    Ikea had partnered with the European installer Soly, and the fact the panels were being advertisedvia such a well-known company gave us confidence.
