Neonicotinoids not only disrupt ecosystems, they also form a overlooked source of reactive nitrogen that perturbs global nitrogen cycling, amplifies atmospheric oxidative capacity, and influences climate dynamics.

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.

France’s birds start to show signs of recovery after bee-harming pesticide ban Analysis shows small hike in populations of insect-eating species after 2018 ruling, but full recovery may take decades

Some cautiously positive news from France, but systemic pesticides (like neonics) can persist in the soil for years, so it's early days yet.

Great cartoon by @toadscroak.bsky.social on the #DuPlomb Law in #France. It means a reintroduction of acetamiprid. An #insecticide that belongs to a class of synthetic chemicals similar to nicotine called #neonicotinoids. It kills bees. Nice detail. The cigarette (nicotine) = The actual execution.

Private Eye article about how successive UK governments have kicked the ball down the road instead of sorting out the problems of neonicotinoids still being used in cat and dog flea treatments, despite now being banned for agricultural use. Some people leave cat and dog fluff out for nestbuilding birds but it could potentially kill the chicks. Vets recommend not leaving it out for the birds.

We all love great tits, don't we? 🪺❤️

But putting #cat fur or #dog hair out for nesting songbirds might kill them, according to Private Eye
