"ces substances sont encore très utilisées, non seulement en agriculture mais aussi dans des insecticides à usage domestique, des traitements antiparasitaires pour les animaux, en application sur les textiles ou des matériaux de construction. En conséquence, les données d’imprégnation à ces produits « font ressortir des fréquences de détection importantes » dans la population française, celles-ci étant « plus élevées chez les enfants que chez les adultes », notent les experts."

‘Alarming’ increase in levels of forever chemical TFA found in European wines'

"Researchers from Pesticide Action Network Europe tested 49 bottles of commercial wine to see how TFA contamination in food and drink had progressed. They found levels of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a breakdown product of long-lasting Pfas chemicals that carries possible fertility risks, far above those previously measured in water."

"Wines produced before 1988 showed no trace of TFA, the researchers found, but those after 2010 showed a steep rise in contamination. Organic and conventional wines showed a rise in TFA contamination, but levels in organic varieties tended to be lower."

"TFA meets the criteria of a “planetary boundary threat for novel entities”, with increasing planetary-scale exposure that could have potential irreversible disruptive impacts on vital Earth system processes."

"The main sources of TFA are thought to be fluorinated refrigerants known as F-gases, which disperse globally, and Pfas pesticides, which are concentrated in agricultural soil."

"accumulated pesticides can degrade and release TFA over time,” he said. “So even if we completely stopped the use of these pesticides now, we have to expect a further increase in TFA concentrations in our water resources and elsewhere over the next years.”

L’étude estime qu’une hausse de 2,6 kg de pesticides par hectare sur 11 ans dans une commune est associée à une augmentation de 1,3 % du risque de cancer du pancréas dans cette zone. Un chiffre faible en apparence, mais significatif à l’échelle d’une population
nationale. #pesticides #cancer

SpringerLinkPesticides and risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in France: a nationwide spatiotemporal ecological study between 2011 and 2021 - European Journal of EpidemiologyWhile pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) incidence is increasing, especially in France, the association between pesticides and PA remains unclear. The aims of this study were to assess the spatiotemporal distribution of the incidence of PA in France between 2011 and 2021 and to determine whether pesticide exposure was associated with higher risk of PA. We employed a disease-mapping and ecological regression approach with medicoadministrative data covering 99% of the French population. Exposure data were drawn from an open purchase database. A pesticide exposure intensity index (PEXI), defined as the logged and scaled median of the ratio quantity of substance over agricultural surface per spatial unit was used for total quantity (total PEXI) and 9 specific substances. The analyses were adjusted for tobacco-induced diseases, deprivation, community medicine accessibility, alcohol-related disease and morbid obesity. A Bayesian hierarchical spatiotemporal model was used to both model the incidence over time and space, and to estimate the risk of PA for pesticide use. We identified 134 102 incident cases of PA between 2011 and 2021. The relative risk of PA was heterogeneous across space with greater risk around Paris, central France and the Mediterranean coast. We observed an association, albeit small, between the total PEXI and PA incidence over the study period (RR: 1.0130; CI95% [1.0057;1.0204]). Sulphur for spraying, mancozeb, and glyphosate showedevidence of an association of the same magnitude. These findings show that new cases of PA occur heterogeneously in space, raising questions about our understanding of PA environmental risk factors. The association with pesticide exposure should be confirmed and underlying mechanisms understood using individual-level studies.

Study finds DDT is still present in toxic levels in New Brunswick.

Aerial spraying has no place in forestry. All of New Brunswick's forests were sprayed with DDT in the 50's and 60's.

This is what happens when a government is preoccupied with corporate profit, and not preoccupied with the wellbeing of its people.

Continued thread

-> Bloem sees a growing failure to confront their long term impact on the human brain. Evidence from the field is becoming harder to ignore. “It’s not that we don’t know enough. It’s that the system is not built to listen when the answers are inconvenient.”
Sometimes i believe that people prefer to live in ”don’t look up” mode & talk about climate change & genders, instead of managing real threats to humanity like these ones.

Dans le prolongement des expressions que nous avons relayées autour de la marche contre les #pesticides le 5 avril, cet hommage à Christian , l'un des fondateurs du Collectif de soutien aux victimes des pesticides de l'ouest, décédé la semaine dernière.
Son parcours d'agriculteur, de malade et de militant incarne le combat du collectif.
Merci à Basta pour cet article .
