I-EPA ithi ama-neonicotinoids alimaza izinyosi

I-Environmental Protection Agency iveze ngokusemthethweni ukuthi imidacloprid, enye yezigaba zezibulala-zinambuzane ezaziwa ngokuthi ama-neonicotinoids, iyingozi ezinyosini. Ukuhlola kwe-EPA kwathola ukuthi izinyosi zichayeka esibulala-zinambuzane ngenani elanele ukuze zilimaze lapho zithutha impova ezitshalweni zikakotini nesawolintshi.

Isitatimende se-EPA, "Ukuhlolwa Kokuqala Kwe-Pollinator Ukusekela Ukubhaliswa Kwe-Imidacloprid," singabukwa lapha. Izindlela zokulinganisa kuxoxwa ngazo lapha.

Inkampani ekhiqiza izibulala-zinambuzane iBayer ikugxekile ukuhlolwa ngesikhathi ishicilelwa kodwa yashintsha ngemuva kwesonto, yathi izosebenzisana ne-Environmental Protection Agency. Le nkampani, nakuba iphawula ukuthi umbiko uthi ukulimala kwezinyosi hhayi amakoloni, iqhubeka nokuphikisana ngokuthi isibulala-zinambuzane asiyona imbangela yeColony Collapse Disorder.

U-Bayer uchithe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-12 ngo-'2014, okuyimali encane uma kuqhathaniswa nenzuzo engaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.6 zamaRandi kodwa kuseyisamba esikhulu, ukuze aphikisane neziphakamiso zokuthi amakhemikhali abulala izinyosi, kubika u-Emery P. Dalecio we-Associated Press. Umgomo wabo kwakuwukushintsha ukunaka kwe-varroa mite njengembangela yokufa kwezinyosi.

Eminye imibiko yathi izinyosi zimunca amazinga amancane ayingozi ezibulala-zinambuzane lapho zithutha impova ugwayi, ummbila nezinye izitshalo. Umkhulumeli we-EPA uthe imininingwane eminingi idinga ukuqoqwa ukuze kuhlolwe imiphumela kubhontshisi wesoya, amagilebhisi nezinye izitshalo lapho kusetshenziswa imidacloprid.

Ukubaluleka kwezinyosi zoju nezinye izinto ezithwala impova ekukhiqizweni kokudla, ezinkulu nezincane, angeke kugcizelelwe, ingasaphathwa eyemvelo iyonke.

I-Environmental Protection Agency ithe izofuna imibono yomphakathi ngaphambi kokucabangela isinyathelo sokubeka imingcele ethile ku-imidacloprid. Nansi iwebhusayithi yamazwana e-EPA (isixhumanisi asisatholakali). Badinga ukuzwa izakhamuzi kanjalo nongoti, ikakhulukazi njengoba abanye balaba chwepheshe basephaketheni lemboni yezibulala-zinambuzane. Siphakamisa ukuthi i-EPA icabangele imiphumela ye-imidacloprid kubantu kanye nezinyosi. (Amazwana azokwamukelwa kuze kube nguMashi 14, 2016)
