Ai os glifosatos...

... desta vez não testados. Convenientemente:

Citando:
"The testing techniques used in the new research meant only a subset of pesticides could be detected. Two very common pesticides – glyphosate and chlorothalonil – were not included in the study, meaning the findings represent a minimum level of contamination. The research focused on streams, as these harbour a large proportion of aquatic wildlife."

Pesticidas nos ovos (Europa)?

Citando:
"Supermarkets have pulled millions of eggs from shelves after pesticide Fipronil was found in Dutch and Belgian poultry farms.

Kathy Brison, of the Belgian food safety agency, said on Sunday that a Belgian farm alerted authorities to a possible contamination in June, and they began investigating and alerted Belgian prosecutors."

Ai os glifosatos - n.º69!

Afinal a UE diz que os glifosatos "dão saúde e fazem crescer", quando parecia que iam ser banidos (e foram em Portugal):

Citando do FT: 

"The recommendation is good news for German chemicals group Bayer, which has been vilified for its courtship of Monsanto. The deal was also built in part on hopes for an expansion of the market for genetically-modified products such as glyphosate-resistant seeds. Monsanto sells a range such seeds in North America, but they have not been approved for use in the European Union.

A final decision on the chemical will be made by the European Commission, but had Echa ruled that glyphosate does cause cancer, the commission would likely have forced companies to warn every customer about its health effects.

The EU already warns that glyphosate is toxic to aquatic life and can cause irreversible eye damage; Echa maintained those warnings.

The decision was criticised by environmental campaigners. Greenpeace EU food policy director Franziska Achterberg said “the data vastly exceeds what’s legally necessary for the EU to ban glyphosate, but Echa has looked the other way”.

However, Echa executive director Geert Dancet has defended the agency’s independence, writing in a series of open letters last week that last week that it is “an organisation built on science”, and its “independence policy builds on international best practice”."

Pesticidas vão ser proibidos em espaços Públicos (Portugal) - Glifosatos

Surpreendentemente, o cerco aperta-se? Ainda este ano houve avisos de aplicação em todas as ruas do local aonde moro onde se ia aplicar o pesticida. WTF?

PS. Como no Brasil um grupo de investigação tentou rastrear a presença de pesticidas nas verduras (que deixam de ser saudáveis quando uma carga de pesticidas enorme estiver presente, naturalmente).
Foi usado um laboratório de análises para detectar resíduos:

Ai os Glifosatos - reloaded

A novela continua... Agora a OMS diz a um departamento para não publicar informações até que alguém (quem?) as analise:

Citando:
"Pressure has been growing on the experts who worked on IARC's glyphosate review in part because other regulators, including in the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan and New Zealand, say the weedkiller is unlikely to pose a cancer risk to humans.
The conflicting scientific assessments have delayed a decision on whether glyphosate should be relicensed for sale in Europe, and prompted senior U.S. lawmakers to question whether IARC should receive funding from U.S. taxpayers.
IARC defends its methods as scientifically sound and says its monographs - the name it gives to its classifications of carcinogens - are "widely respected for their scientific rigor, standardized and transparent process and ... freedom from conflicts of interest"."

Pesticidas, plásticos e outras substâncias químicas que afectam crianças (desde a gravidez)

Citando:
"(...) pregnant women had been found to be contaminated with dozens of potentially harmful substances such as organophosphate pesticides, PBDE flame retardants and phthalates found in plastic. "
(...)
“When the [US] federal government banned some uses of OP [organo-phosphate] pesticides, manufacturers responded by expanding the use of neonicotinoid and pyrethroid pesticides,” the paper said.
“Evidence is emerging that these widely used classes of pesticides pose a threat to the developing brain.
“When the US government reached a voluntary agreement with flame retardant manufacturers to stop making PBDEs, the manufacturers substituted other halogenated and organophosphate flame retardant chemicals.
“Many of these replacement flame retardants are similar in structure to other neurotoxic chemicals but have not undergone adequate assessment of their effects on developing brains.
“When the federal government banned some phthalates in children’s products, the chemical industry responded by replacing the banned chemicals with structurally similar new phthalates. These replacements are now under investigation for disrupting the endocrine system.”

Pesticidas banidos em 2013 não afectam de igual modo as abelhas - Estudo

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36154134


Citando:
"This study examined the three types banned by the EU in 2013. It shows that different types affect the brains of bumblebees in distinct ways.




Two (imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) were shown to be highly toxic to bumblebees when they were exposed to levels of the chemicals found in the countryside.
They affected their brains, impairing their memory and ability to forage for pollen. The toxic effects also included altering the make-up of the colony, changing the ratio of males to females and in some cases reducing the number of queens.
The third (clothiandin) - a close chemical relative that has not been tested before is shown not to be harmful to bees in the low doses given during field trials. The number of queens in the colonies actually increased."
