 |
|
En löytänyt oliko tästä aiheesta aloitusta. Jossain ainakin keskusteltu. On hyvä jos tähän puututaan enemmässä määrin. Siis torjunta-aineiden vaarallisuuteen ja niiden vähentämiseen. Monet sellaiset kasvit joita paljon käytetään sisältävät korkeita pitoisuuksia. Esim chili, kiinankaali, papaya, basilika ja "pitkä papu" eli thua tai cowpea. Muitakin tietysti on.
Tietenkin nuo siirtyy ravintoketjussa osa myös lihaan ja kalaan tms. Ilmansaasteilla myös paljon vaikutusta.

NGOs call for law forcing industry to declare discharge of toxic substances
Recent research has disclosed that serious contamination from persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and herbicides in food and the environment poses health threats to the Thai public.
The research, from Ecological Alert and Recovery – Thailand (EARTH) and Thailand Pesticide Alert Network (Thai-PAN), found that Samut Sakhon had the highest levels of dioxin contamination. The level of contaminants known as polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PBDD/Fs) was 33 times higher than European Union standards, Meanwhile, 46 per cent and 55 per cent respectively of fruit and vegetables were found to contain pesticides and herbicides.
The organisations said that toxic substances posed serious health threats and the authorities had not put enough measures and regulations in place to protect the public.
Jindrich Petrlik , the executive director of the NGO, Arnika – Toxics and Waste Programme, said studies on POPs contamination in Thailand’s major industrial heartlands included an analysis by EARTH of 11 free-range eggs samples from six areas across the country in 2015 and 2016.
Petrlik said the researchers were shocked to find that the industrial area in Samut Sakhon’s Muang District had the second highest contamination of PBDD/Fs in the world.
He explained that the team collected eggs from chickens that foraged freely in the study areas. The eggs were used as indicators of POPs contamination in the food cycle and environment of that area, and the analysis of one of two egg samples from Samut Sakhon found the dangerously high level of PBDD/Fs of up to 84.04 nanograms per kilogram.
Egg samples from Saraburi’s Ban Mo district had a level of PBDD/Fs at 11.73 nanograms per kilogram, and eggs from Prachin Buri’s Tha Thum district had 4.14 nanograms per kilogram – both higher than the EU standard of 2.50.
According to EARTH, PBDD/Fs are among the most dangerous POPs and contribute to many negative impacts on human health. All areas that registered high levels of this toxic substance were in major industrial zones.
EARTH director Penchom Saetang cautioned that the major issue that contributed to this problem was that Thailand still does not have a Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) law and there were no reports on toxic substances discharged from individual factories.
Penchom said that even though there is a pioneer project of voluntary pollutant-release reporting in Rayong’s Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, only 22 per cent of participating factories actually reported their discharges.
“Therefore, the authorities have to develop and enforce a PRTR law in order to pursue the goal of reducing POPs discharged to the environment,” she stressed.
Meanwhile, Thai-PAN coordinator Prokechon U-sap said that separate research on pesticides and herbicides in fruit and vegetables found that all samples from nine markets, three department stores and four supermarkets in Chiang Mai, Pathum Thani, Ratchaburi and Songkhla had higher than average contamination from toxic substances.
Despite the fact that the overall level of contamination in fruit and vegetables was slightly better than last year, Prokechon stressed that most popular vegetables – such as cowpea, asiatic pennywort, Chinese kale, Thai basil leaves and red chilli – had high levels of pesticides.
“The most concerning finding is that 55 per cent of 76 samples are contaminated with herbicides – especially Paraquat and currently illegal substances such as Carbofuran. These substances had not shown up in testing on these fruits and vegetables before,” she said.
Kingkorn Narintarakul Na Ayuthaya, BioThai Foundation coordinator, said that the relevant state agencies and food distributors needed to disclose the sources of the contaminated food so the problem could be solved at its root. Kingkorn noted that even some certified fruit and vegetables had high levels of pesticide contamination.
Kingkorn also disclosed that the alliance of environmental organisations was considering suing the Agriculture Department for allowing the renewal of licences for Paraquat against the recommendations of the Public Health Ministry.
Disease Control Department (DCD) Occupational and Environmental Diseases Bureau director Dr Chantana Padungtod said the agency was well aware of this threat and constantly sent teams to monitor public exposure to toxic substances.
According to DCD, 8,689 people became sick from pesticide toxins last year. Many of them were farmers, who constantly use pesticides in their fields.
“It is quite hard to detect diseases from exposure of toxic substances, as these sicknesses are often not acute. It takes time for people who are exposed to toxic substances to show symptoms, because the toxin will have to accumulate in their body,” Chantana said.
“Therefore, we have an at-risk population group for this kind of sickness – those who work or live close to these toxic substances, such as farmers and industrial workers – and we are working closely with this group to protect them from toxin-related diseases.”

Hyvänä asiana Thaimaassa nykyään se, että luonnonmukainen tai orgaaninen viljely suosiossa ja lisääntymässä. Eli kyllä ihmiset ovat jonkin verran valistuneita asiassa. Siis kuluttajat ja viljelijätkin.

Niin sepä se pahinta onkin joka melko yleistä noissa eli välinpitämättömyys. Sitten kyllä mesotaan paljon pienemmillä ongelmilla.
Lisäksi tätäkin osastoa vaivaa pahasti liiketaloudelliset voitot ja sen myötä suuryhtiöt. Niissäkin on joitain poikkeuksia. Kuuluu jossain määrin sarjaan hys, hys asiat jopa maailmanlaajuisesti. Tosin useissa maissa on tullut huomattaviakin parannuksia asiaan.
Mutta kuten sanoin viime vuosina on alettu harrastamaan luonnonmukaista viljelyä myös jonkinmoisena bisneksenä. Tai ainakin sellaisen havainnon olen tehnyt. Muusta en paljoa tiedä. Siinä olisi ehkä monellekin hyväkin bisnes koska touhu kasvussa, kun olisi vaan koulutusta alalle enemmän. Vaatisi myös päättäjiltä asiaan suhtautumista vakavasti ja lainsäädännöllisiä toimia. On tästäkin olemassa pientä havaintoa joissain piireissä. Puhtaille tuotteille olisi kysyntää myös ulkomailla. Thaimaa elää pitkälle myös maatalouden ansiosta. Pienviljelijöiden osuus suuri kaikista ammateista.
Wikipediassa asiasta tällästä juttua otsikolla maatalous Thaimaassa. Myös luonnonmukaisesta viljelystä juttua.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Thailand
Näistä Wikin jutussa mainituista Surin riisinviljelijöistä olen aiemminkin lukenut. Tuosta ilmenee ettei ihan uusi asia ole kaikille.

Tälläinenkin kunnianhimoinen tavoite julkaistu tässä uutisessa heinäkuun 23. 2016 eli olla maailman luonnomukaisen maatalouden yksi keskus maailmassa. Ihan ok ajatus kun vaan toteutuisi.
| Lainaus: | Thailand aims to become centre for organic farmingEconomy July 23, 2016 01:00 By NATAYA THIRAPORN,
PETCHANET P
THAILAND is promoting itself as the centre of organic farming and trading in Asean and aims to become one of the world’s major suppliers of organic products.
Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn said yesterday that the ministry and producers planned to increase the country’s share of the world market in the organic sector as it foresaw that as a sustainable way to help farmers and promote good living.
She said Thailand had good potential to become the centre of organic farming and trading within Asean, but to achieve the goal it required more policy support and awareness about organic products from farmers and consumers.
The government has devised a five-year plan to develop organic products to boost the country’s market share globally. The plan started this year and aims to add value to organic goods. The government will help the marketing and packaging development of products.
Under the plan, exports of organic products to the world market are forecast to grow 10 per cent each year.
Currently, the annual value of organic-product exports is Bt4 billion.
The world market value of organic products is US$72 billion (Bt2.3 trillion) annually and grows at an average rate of 12.8 per cent each year.
Thai products have a share of less than 1 per cent of the market. The United States, Germany and France are the three leading exporters of organic produce, in that order.
Peerachote Charanwong, chairman of the Thai Organic Trade Association, said the Kingdom’s long history had influenced Thais in the growing of organic products but compared with many foreign countries Thailand was still in the learning stage in the sector. A good start is acknowledging the responsibility producers must show towards consumers, he said.
Lack of knowledge
“Consumers still have a lack of knowledge about organic products. Thus the government should help promote consumer acknowledgement about organic farming and products so the industry can grow sustainably,” he said.
The Commerce Ministry will stage Thailand’s biggest organic fair, “Organic & Natural Expo”, at Queen Sirikit Convention Centre in Bangkok from next Thursday to July 31. More than 300 companies will participate in the event.
It is expected to generate Bt30 million in immediate sales, while about 40,000 visitors are expected to attend.

Tuo kenties pistää vauhtia edellä mainittujen asioiden huomioimiseen joten siksi hyvä. Asiana ei muuten ole hyvä.
| Lainaus: | USFDA quarantines 11 items of food products and medicines from Thailand
in Breaking News, General | December 06, 2017
The US Food and Drugs Administration has decided to quarantine 11 items of food products and medicines from Thailand after finding out that they are of substandard qualities that do not meet the set standards due to the presence of Salmonella bacteria, gastrointestinal infectious bacteria, excessive lead residue and wrong labelling.
The 11 items of food products and medicines are as follows:
Frozen salted fish, salted fish mixed with chili for snacks from 12 factories. It was discovered that the salt used caused Clostridium Botulinum bacteria.
Salted seafood such as salted snakehead fish, dried shrimps, dried squid, snail, lobster and mollusk from 42 factories. Salmonella bacteria were found in the products.
Food and drinks from 104 factories. The food coloring used in the products was not declared with the US FDA in advance.
Excessive lead residue was found in the ceramic containers used in containing food and drinks from one factory.
Medicines from two manufacturers do not meet GMPS guidelines and proper production process.
Medical gloves from 11 factories do not meet the required standard.
Unprocessed farm products
Food products from 26 factories such as dried Lamyai, frozen durian, mangosteen, grapes, lichee, mango, frozen fish and pickle. Insecticide residue was found in the products.
Powdered chili, curry paste, tamarind paste and turmeric from 29 factories. Salmonella bacteria were found.
Medicines from one manufacturer which declined inspection by FDA officials
Wrong labelling on food products from 4 factories.
Mr Visit Limluecha, vice president of food industry group of the Federation of Thai Industries, said the quarantined food products mostly came from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), hence, it was the responsibility of both the private and government sectors to educate them about the need to comply with product safety and quality standards.
He said the US FDA was very strict with random checks of imports, especially from countries which have trade surplus with the US.
Although the quarantined products were confined to certain food products, he warned that if this was repeated, Thai food exports in general to the US market might be affected in the long run.
As far as the FDA was confirmed, Mr Visit explained that the association concerned would notify its members whose products were quarantined to make rectifications.
If they are not members of the associations affiliated with the FDI, then the associations concerned should warn the factories in question to make rectifications.

| Torjunta-aineiden lisäksi on Thaimaassa nykyään paljon kemikaaleilla tehtävää kasvisten ja vihannesten ulkonäön parantelua. Tätähän tehdään kahdesta syystä, jotta saataisiin tuotteista paremmin myyviä ja toisaalta yritetään pidentää myyntiaikaa. Jos vaikka chilit näyttää todella kiiltävän punaisilta niin voi olla että ne on käsitelty kemikaaleilla. Monesti näkee melkein neon vihreitä farang hedelmiä myynnissä katukärryissä, ne on maalattuja. |
