Ngokwemibiko kahulumeni, amakhemikhali asetshenziswa ekulimeni ukotini cishe ayimbangela yokulahleka kwamaqabunga esihlahla ezingxenyeni ezimaphakathi nentshonalanga yeNew South Wales, futhi angase abe usongo empilweni yabantu.
Umbiko wochwepheshe wezobuchwepheshe ovela eMnyangweni Wezimboni waseNew South Wales uwukuhlaziya kokuqala okusemthethweni kwalesi simo.Lesi simo siholela eNarrome, eduze kwaseTarangi naseWarren, eningizimu kuya e-Darlington Point eduze kwase-Hailin nasenyakatho Abelusi endaweni yaseBurke babedidekile.
Ugogo nokhokho kaBruce Maynard batshala izihlahla zikapelepele eNarromine Golf Course ngeminyaka yawo-1920, futhi ukholelwa ukuthi lezi zihlahla zifile ngenxa yokuchayeka kumakhemikhali afuthwe emasimini kakotini aseduze.
I-Zanthoxylum bungeanum isitshalo esihlala siluhlaza.Izinhlobo ezithile ze-eucalyptus zichitha amaqabunga azo minyaka yonke.Lokhu kuhambisana nabalimi bakakotini abasebenzisa isifutho esisemoyeni ukuze banciphise izitshalo, okuphakamisa ukukhathazeka ngezinye izingozi ezingaba khona zokuchayeka kuleli khemikhali.
Kodwa emabhandeni kakotini esifundazweni, ukukhukhuleka kwesifutho kungase kube yimbangela yokuphephuka kwezihlahla, okudale impikiswano.Imeya yaseNarromine, uMnuz Craig Davies, owayeyinkontileka yokufutha, uthe amahlamvu awile adalwe yisomiso.
I-New South Wales Environmental Protection Agency itshele ummangali kaningi ukuthi ukuphela kwendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukukhukhuleka kwesifutho kuyimbangela yokulahleka kwamaqabunga ezinhlobo ezingahlosiwe ukuhlola phakathi kwezinsuku ezimbili zomsebenzi wokufutha, okungenzeka ngaphambi kokuvela kwezimpawu. .
Nokho, umbiko woMnyango Wezimboni waseNew South Wales otholwe yiThe Herald ngaphansi koMthetho Wenkululeko Yolwazi waphetha ngoMeyi 2018 ukuthi ukulahleka kwamaqabunga “akuwona neze umphumela wezimo zemvelo (njengesomiso eside)”.
“Lokhu cishe kuwumphumela wokufafazwa ngezinga elikhulu.Ukuguqulwa kwezinga lokushisa kubangele ukuthi izinhlayiya zamakhemikhali amahle zinyakaze ngaphezu kwalokho obekulindelwe.Kwezinye izindawo okungalinywa kuzo ukotini, izimpawu zezihlahla zikapelepele azibonakali.”
Izingozi zokukhukhuleka kwesifutho zihlanganisa: izingxabano phakathi kwamaqembu abalimi, amathuba okuba kuthathwe izinyathelo zomthetho, ukuthi kungenzeka abantu bathengise imikhiqizo yezolimo enezinsalela, kanye nomthelela empilweni yabantu, ngoba “izinto zamakhemikhali zinemiphumela engaziwa, ikakhulukazi yesikhathi eside ephansi. ukuchayeka umthamo”.Umbiko uncoma ukulamula komphakathi okuholwa ngumuntu ozimele ukuze kuncishiswe izinxushunxushu zomphakathi futhi kuncishiswe ukukhukhuleka kwesifutho ngesizini ezayo.
UMaynard wathi: “Izihlahla zikapelepele zibonisa ubufakazi obucacile bokuthi minyaka yonke sithintana nokuthile, kuzo zonke izifunda namadolobhana ethu.”Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lokhu kuhilela izinto ezimbili: impilo nebhizinisi lethu.Ngoba sibhekene nezingozi ezingalawuleki.”
Umbiko awuzange ukhulume ngamakhemikhali angase aphambuke kulokho okuhlosiwe.Ama-defoliants kakotini ahlanganisa i-clothianidin, i-metformin ne- dilong, ahlobene nokucekelwa phansi kwe-Great Barrier Reef futhi ahlelelwe ukuthi akhanselwe e-EU kusukela ngo-September.
UGrazier Colin Hamilton (Grazier Colin Hamilton) uthe uma sekumele baveze ukuthi idlelo alinawo ukungcola, amahlamvu aconsayo enza kube nzima abakhiqizi benyama yenkomo ngoba abukho ubufakazi bokuthi akhona amakhemikhali, kodwa ubufakazi bukhombisa ukuthi akulona iqiniso.
UHamilton uthe: “Kodwa eduze nasekhaya, abantu abaningi endaweni yakithi baphuza amanzi emvula ophahleni.”"Kungase kube nomthelela empilweni yomuntu."
Nokho, u-Adam Kay, isikhulu esiphezulu seCotton Australia, uthe “abukho ubufakazi” bokuthi izibulala-zinambuzane ziyimbangela yokuwa kwamaqabunga.Ukuvimbela ukukhukhuleka kwesifutho kulokho okuhlosiwe kuwumsebenzi oyinhloko wezolimo lonke ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha komphakathi kanye nemvelo.
UKay wathi: “Kusukela ngo-1993, ukusetshenziswa kwe-biotechnology nokulawulwa okudidiyelwe kwezinambuzane ukotini kuye kwanciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane ngamaphesenti angu-95.”
U-Leslie Weston, uprofesa wesayensi yezinto eziphilayo zezitshalo e-Charles Sturt University, naye uyayisekela inkulumo kameya yokuthi isomiso kungenzeka sidalwe.Ezinye izihlahla ezithintekile ziqhele ngamakhilomitha ayi-10 ukusuka epulazini likakotini eliseduze.
USolwazi Weston uthe: “Mina ngokwami ​​angicabangi ukuthi lo muthi wokubulala ukhula uzobulala izihlahla ngaphandle uma zisemngceleni wensimu bese ziwufutha ngaphandle kwendawo, okuvumela ukumuncwa kwezimpande noma ukususwa emahlumela.”"Uma umonakalo wokubulala ukhula usabalele, Abantu bavame ukubona amawolintshi aseduze noma ezinye izitshalo ezihlala njalo zilimale."
I-New South Wales Environmental Protection Agency ithe eminyakeni emibili edlule, iye yenza ukuhlola okuthathu kwezitshalo namanzi ezindaweni zaseNarromine naseTrangie, futhi azikho izibulala-zinambuzane ezitholakele, kodwa kubaluleke kakhulu ezikhalweni zokufafazwa ngokweqile zingakapheli izinsuku ezimbili. , Ngoba insalela izohlakazeka ngokushesha..
Umkhulumeli we-EPA uthe: "I-EPA ithembise ukuthi izohlola ngaphambi kokufafaza nangemva kokufutha ngesizini elandelayo yokufutha ukuze kubhekwe izimo zezitshalo nokuqoqa amasampula ezitshalo azohlolwa ngokushesha ngemva kokufutha."
