UPhilippe Grandjean ukhuluma yedwa ” ngikhathazeke kakhulu “ amazinga ezibulala-zinambuzane abantu baseYurophu ababulawa kuzo. Ngokusho kwakhe, iYurophu ngayinye idla isilinganiso sama-300 g wezibulala-zinambuzane ngonyaka. U-50% wokudla esikudla njalo (izithelo, imifino, okusanhlamvu) uzoba nezinsalela zesibulala-zinambuzane futhi u-25% ungcoliswe amaningana ala makhemikhali.

Ingozi enkulu ilele ekusebenzisaneni kwemiphumela yezibulala-zinambuzane, okuthi ngokusho kodokotela-umcwaningi, inganakwa ngokwanele yi-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Okwamanje, lokhu kusungula imingcele enobuthi yesibulala-zinambuzane ngasinye (kuhlanganise nezibulala-zinambuzane, izibulala-sikhunta, izibulala-khula, njll.) ezithathwe ngokuhlukana.

Umthelela wezibulala-zinambuzane ekuthuthukiseni ubuchopho

NgokukaSolwazi Grandjean, ivuliwe "Isitho sethu esiyigugu kakhulu", ingqondo, ukuthi le cocktail yezibulala-zinambuzane ingadala umonakalo omkhulu kakhulu. Lokhu kuba sengozini kubaluleke kakhulu lapho ubuchopho bukhula "Yingane kanye nengane esesigabeni sokuqala ehlushwa yiso".

Usosayensi usekela amazwi akhe ochungechungeni lwezifundo ezenziwa ezinganeni ezincane emhlabeni jikelele. Omunye wabo uqhathanise ukuthuthukiswa kobuchopho bamaqembu amabili wezingane ezineminyaka engu-5 ezinezici ezifanayo ngokwezakhi zofuzo, ukudla, isiko nokuziphatha.¹. Nakuba lalivela endaweni efanayo yaseMexico, elinye lala maqembu amabili lalinamazinga aphezulu ezibulala-zinambuzane, kanti elinye alizange.

Umphumela: Izingane ezichayeke ezibulala-zinambuzane zibonise ukuncipha kokukhuthazela, ukusebenzisana, inkumbulo yesikhashana kanye nekhono lokudweba umuntu. Lesi sici sokugcina sisobala ngokukhethekile. 

Phakathi nengqungquthela, umcwaningi ucaphuna uchungechunge lwezincwadi, ngayinye ekhathaza kakhulu kunokugcina. Ucwaningo lubonisa, ngokwesibonelo, ukuthi ukwanda kancane kancane kwezibulala-zinambuzane ze-organophosphate emchameni wabesifazane abakhulelwe kuhlobene nokulahlekelwa ngamaphuzu angu-5,5 IQ ezinganeni ezineminyaka engu-7.². Okunye kukhombisa ngokusobala ekufanekisweni kobuchopho abalinyazwa ukuchayeka ngaphambi kokubeletha ku-chlorpyrifos (CPF), isibulala-zinambuzane esivame ukusetshenziswa.³.

Ukwenza ngaphansi komgomo wokuqapha

Naphezu kwale miphumela ethusayo, uSolwazi Grandjean ukholelwa ukuthi zimbalwa kakhulu izifundo ezibheka lesi sifundo njengamanje. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uyakwahlulela lokho « I-EFSA [I-European Food Safety Authority] kumele athathe izifundo ngobuthi bezibulala-zinambuzane ngokungathi sína anesithakazelo esikhulu njengalezo ezikumdlavuza. 

Kodwa-ke, ekupheleni kwe-2013, i-EFSA yayibonile ukuthi ukuchayeka kwabantu baseYurophu ezinambuzaneni ezimbili - i-acetamiprid ne-imidacloprid - kungase kuthinte kabi ukuthuthukiswa kwama-neurons nezakhiwo zobuchopho ezihlobene nemisebenzi efana nokufunda kanye neMemori. Ngaphandle kokwehla kwamanani ereferensi ye-toxicological, ochwepheshe bale nhlangano babefuna ukwenza ukuthunyelwa kwezifundo mayelana nobuthi bezibulala-zinambuzane kube impoqo ngaphambi kokugunyaza ukusetshenziswa kwazo ezitshalweni zaseYurophu.

Kusolwazi ukulinda imiphumela yezifundo kungamosha isikhathi esiningi. Abathatha izinqumo baseYurophu kumele bathathe isinyathelo ngokushesha. “Ingabe kufanele silinde ubufakazi obuphelele ukuze sivikele lokho okubaluleke kakhulu? Ngicabanga ukuthi isimiso sokuqapha sisebenza kahle kakhulu kuleli cala nokuthi ukuvikelwa kwezizukulwane ezizayo kubalulekile ekuthathweni kwezinqumo. “

“Ngakho ngithumela umyalezo oqinile kwa-EFSA. Sidinga ukuvikela ubuchopho bethu ngamandla amakhulu esikhathini esizayo ” isando usosayensi. Kuthiwani uma siqala ngokudla izinto eziphilayo?

UPhilippe Grandjean unguprofesa wezokwelapha eNyuvesi yase-Odense eDenmark. Umeluleki wangaphambili we-WHO kanye ne-EFSA (i-European Food Safety Agency), ushicilele incwadi ekhuluma ngomthelela wokunukubezeka kwemvelo ekuthuthukisweni kobuchopho ngo-2013 "Ngenhlanhla kuphela - Ukuthi Ukungcoliswa Kwemvelo Kulimaza Kanjani Ukuthuthukiswa Kobuchopho - kanye Nendlela Yokuvikela Ubuchopho Besizukulwane Esilandelayo" I-Oxford University Press.

Finyelela ekudluliselweni kabusha kwe-workshop ihlelwe ngo-November 18, 2015 yi-Scientific and Technological Choices Assessment Unit (STOA) yePhalamende LaseYurophu.
