Kwekers snijbloemen overtreden massaal regels: gebruiken te veel of verboden gif Telers van snijbloemen in de glastuinbouw negeren massaal de regels voor het gebruik van pesticiden. Bij NVWA-controles in de glastuinbouw blijkt dat 61 procent van de telers de middelen niet correct ...

Kwekers snijbloemen overtreden massaal regels: gebruiken te veel of verboden gif zoals #Chloorpyrifos, #Clothianidin en #Thiamethoxam: zeer toxisch voor bijen en andere bestuivers.

Neonicotinoid Insecticides: The Unseen Threat to Male Fertility In today's episode we're examining the hidden health risks associated with Neonicotinoid Insecticides, the world's most widely used class of pesticides. Neonics are used extensively in agriculture, leading to inevitable occupational and environmental contamination, including detectable levels in food and water. Since these chemicals are applied systemically, they are absorbed throughout the plant tissues, making them very difficult—if not impossible—to remove completely by washing produce. Recent systematic reviews analyzing 21 animal studies consistently show that neonic exposure negatively impacts male reproductive health. Specifically, studies reveal compromised sperm quality (count, motility, viability, morphology), damage to testicular tissue, hormonal disruption (lowered serum testosterone), and severe oxidative stress. These consistent findings, derived primarily from rodent models, constitute a clear and urgent public health concern, emphasizing the critical need for dedicated human epidemiological studies.

Study Adds to Findings of Neonic Insecticides’ Threat to Soil Communities; Ground Beetles at Risk - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog In assessing nine species of ground beetles, a study finds threats to beetle populations from sublethal effects with neonicotinoid exposure.

A study at Penn State's Agricultural Research Center highlights threats to nontarget organisms from #neonic #exposure. Using ground #beetles as an example, it documents "significant sublethal effects" & decreased week-long survival. #clothianidin #thiamethoxam #imidacloprid ➡️ Blog: ow.ly/Ppy850W4Vsb

We compared the effects of short high-concentration (acute) exposure and prolonged low-concentration (chronic) exposure of #acetamiprid, #clothianidin, and #sulfoxaflor
Chronic exposure affected energy production and immunity while acute exposure activated stress responses and caused neural issues.

#Clothianidin impacted all three body parts we studied - brain, legs, and Malpighian tubules - but the effects were not uniform, disrupting key pathways critical for each tissue's functionality.

Investigative Report Finds Canada’s Reversal of Neonicotinoid Ban Influenced by Bayer/Monsanto - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog An investigation conducted by Canada’s National Observer finds that Bayer colluded with Canadian regulators to obstruct a proposed neonicotinoid ban.

A bombshell #investigation by @nationalobserver.com ‬
finds that #Bayer, which acquired #Monsanto in 2018, colluded with Canadian #environmental & #publichealth regulators to obstruct a #neonic ban—phase out of #imidacloprid, #clothianidin, & #thiamethoxam reversed in 2021. Blog: ow.ly/LNOZ50UtscC

Developmental Neurotoxic Effects of Widely Used Neonicotinoid Insecticide Underestimated by EPA - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog Neonicotinoid exposure, such as with the insecticide clothianidin, shows behavioral changes in female mice during key stages of development.

A new study finds that the #neonic insecticide #clothianidin induces behavioral abnormalities & #neurotoxic effects, mainly in #female mice, throughout key development stages as sex-specific #pesticide #exposure impacts continue to be underestimated. Blog:

#Neonikotinide sind #Bienenkiller. Das ist nun mit einer neuen Studie der Europäischen Behörde für Lebensmittelsicherheit (EFSA) amtlich. Sie müssen vom Acker. @gruenech forderten das schon früher. Wir bleiben dran.
