EFSA launches public consultation into ‘CocktailEffects’ of chemicals.#臺灣成真 #FreeHugs #FreeHugs粉絲團
摘錄
「美國農部去年檢測10,187個農產品，結果只有15%是沒有農藥殘留的。
檢測的農藥高達496種農藥，但沒有納入嘉磷塞這個被認為有健康風險的除草劑。
測出有農藥的八千多件農產品中，有441件(5%)其農藥殘留超標，或者官方沒有規定允許值(所以不得檢出)。
比較多農藥殘留的農產品如 #菠菜、#豌豆莢、#番茄、#胡瓜、#西瓜、#葡萄、草莓 等。
一個 #草莓 樣品竟然含有20種農藥殘留。可怕的是禁用多年的DDT也出現了。
食品安全的議題，最好是聽健康風險、公共衛生等專家，而不只是食品科技專家。
#實際上食品科技專家容易與大食品公司有瓜葛，因此在聘請的時候應謹慎。
官方的說法是，食物中農藥殘留只要不超標就表示安全。
其實這種說法眛於二個事實:
1. 有些農藥在遠低於安全允許值之下，仍然具有 #環境賀爾蒙的作用，可能會 #干擾內分泌而引發健康問题。
2.數種農藥同時存在食物中，即使每種都不超標，但合在一起的作用會不會有害健康，政府根本不知道。
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has asked the public for input on the complex question of the “cocktail effects” of chemical substances.
The MixTox project aims at developing practical methods to evaluate the toxicity of combinations of substances in the food chain. Launched by the EFSA in 2013, the project will take several more years to conclude.
The EU agency called on Europe’s scientists, scientific advisory bodies and civil society to “support and contribute to this work”.
Unknown territory
The effects of chemical cocktails on human health and the environment are still largely unknown. But Europe’s public health agencies are working with EFSA to develop methods to evaluate the toxicity of mixtures of pesticides and chemical contaminants in the food chain.
EU AGENCY LAUNCHES ‘PLAIN ENGLISH’ GUIDE TO TOXIC CHEMICALS
A new online guide by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) promises to offer “plain English” information about the hazard profiles of thousands of chemicals, offering a new tool for citizens to hold companies and regulators to account.
