Pesticides: Spreading has an impact even in houses within a radius of 1 km

(AFP) - 6 days ago

PARIS - Pesticides, some of which are suspected of being carcinogenic, may have an impact within a radius of more than one kilometer around the spreading site and even contaminate carpets in homes, reveals Friday Generations Futures citing a US study .

Study of dust samples in California-based 89 carpets and carpets found agricultural pesticide residues used up to 1.250 meters around these residences during the previous 730 days, according to a published study Thursday by the journal Environmental Health Perspectives from the US National Institutes of Health.

So far, researchers have only found such residues within a radius of 750 m around dwellings.

In addition, the study showed that domestic or professional use of pesticides by the inhabitants of the houses tested had only a minor impact on the variability of the concentration of the pesticides found.

For Generations Futures, this study shows that pesticides are not only harmful for agricultural products, but also have an impact on the air that residents in neighboring homes breathe in fields and orchards where chemicals are used.

"These results show that it is absolutely necessary to keep the decree of September 12, 2006" which authorizes the spreading of these products only if the wind speed does not exceed force 3 (19 km / hour) on the scale de Beaufort with 13 degrees, underlines the non-governmental organization.

This decree is questioned, according to Générations Futures, by the National Federation of Fruit Producers, after the trial in January of three apple growers in Corrèze for spreading pesticides on their orchards in strong winds, a criminal trial that could make jurisprudence.

The decision was reserved at 10 March.

"We must at the same time keep this decree, unique and thin protection against contamination by agricultural pesticides available to residents of the cultivated areas, and revive the momentum of the Ecophyto 2018 plan which provides for a 50% reduction in pesticides in 10 years ", underlined the spokesperson of Générations Futures, François Veillerette.

These are kilometers, rainwater contains, and everything depends on the threshold.
The wind does not dilute quickly and transports to tens of thousands of km the sandstorms of China or the Sahara, and therefore the same as tens of Km, for pesticide and herbicide treatments of cereals all made at the same time in all a region like Beauce.

I remember cycling end of November of an unbearable smell burning the lungs felt more than 1Km of a wheat field just after sprouting during treatment spreading and I only stayed for a very short time , time to go, while there were houses less than 50m !!!
And a whole region is treated like that at about the same time !!!

Result I eat only organic wheat and you are sure it is organic, untreated, if you see some worms and weevils grow there by keeping a little too long, to which are much less dangerous than the pesticides or preservatives !! Danger first for farmers.

Bonjour Christophe

Super your little comic.

At the end of our business we sold the house and we went back to live in the city.
Between chemical pollution and exhaust pollution, I know it's not terrible but in any case we are no longer sick ... for now ...

Question: what track to follow to find a healthy place to live?
- Far from the city
- Far from the fields
- On the moon

Spring, the ugliest / most toxic season in our cultivated countryside .....
Very many fields are in this state in the Landes, everything is burned by these crap of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and other cides ....
Even between houses. In some corner, as far as the eye can see, the burned fields .....
Just the impression that the phenomenon is increasing year by year.

Hello,

I am part of an association in which we are more than a hundred volunteers and we intervene to create small vegetable gardens in permaculture.
Since 2 years we participated in the creation of more than a dozen vegetable gardens including an experimental garden which consisted of seeing how long an ecological garden cultivated in permaculture could come to life on a field of about 4000 m² leached by intensive farming in conventional agriculture.
A little less than 2 years have allowed to have a particularly productive garden without any insecticide, herbicide or chemical fertilizer.

Recently the garden coordinator has just announced that the farmer who exploits the fields near our organic vegetable garden and cultivated in permaculture had treated his wheat fields with chemical fertilizers and herbicides ...
Result: some of the plants in our vegetable garden that were starting to grow well, have died in a few days!

Given the fact that today intensive agriculture with the use of dreaded chemicals is ubiquitous and that the surfaces concerned are gigantic compared to the few small ecological gardens that appear disseminated, and that the aggressive treatment of agriculture intensively do not stop at the boundaries of the treated field, how to arrive today to make coexist these 2 agricultures without that one come to suffocate the other?

We must open a reflection before continuing our approach of creating ecological vegetable gardens to know if we can protect them at certain times of the year against neighboring phytosanitary treatments particularly destructive and invasive.

Maybe to get closer to conventional farmers to know the dates of the treatments they will do and previously unfold a tarpaulin around organic vegetable gardens? ... This approach would also have the advantage of making the farmer aware that his actions have significant consequences for the neighborhood

If you have any ideas ?...

Here is the garden

About the upcoming health scandal ...

[Janic]

at 13h15 on France two. A scientist who has devoted his work to the monkeys finds that the monkeys that she observes have a modification of the face, especially in a specific area. This area is put in cultivation of corn, with pesticides and fertilizers, that these monkeys come to pilfer, and as by chance the children of these farmers have the same attacks. but it's just by chance of course!
