Uvavanyo lwe-USDA ngo-2023 lwafumanisa ukuba i-99% yeemveliso zokutya ayidlulanga imida yentsalela ye-pesticide.

I-PDP iqhuba iisampulu zonyaka kunye novavanyo lokufumana ukuqondaisibulali-zinambuzaneiintsalela kwizibonelelo zokutya zase-US. I-PDP ivavanya iintlobo ngeentlobo zokutya kwasekhaya nokwamanye amazwe, kugxilwe ngokukodwa ekutyeni okuxhaphake ukutyiwa ziintsana nabantwana.
I-Arhente yokuKhuselwa kokusiNgqongileyo yase-US ithathela ingqalelo amanqanaba okuvezwa kunye nemiphumo yezempilo ye-pesticides ekudleni kwaye ibeka imida yokusalela ephezulu (MRLs) kwi-pesticides ekudleni.
Zizonke iisampulu ezingama-9,832 zavavanywa ngo-2023, kubandakanya iialmondi, iiapile, iiavokhado, iziqhamo ezahlukeneyo zokutya komntwana kunye nemifuno, amaqunube (amatsha kunye nomkhenkce), isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi, iidiliya, amakhowa, itswele, iiplums, iitapile, umbona oswiti (omtsha kunye nomkhenkce), amaqunube etart yaseMexico, iitumato, kunye nevatala.
Ngaphezulu kwe-99% yeesampulu zineentsalela zezitshabalalisi zamanqanaba angaphantsi kwesiseko se-EPA, kunye ne-38.8% yeesampulu ezingenazo iintsalela zezibulali-zinambuzane ezibonwayo, ukonyuka ukusuka ngo-2022, xa i-27.6% yeisampulu ingenazo iintsalela ezinokubonwa.
Iyonke iisampulu ezingama-240 ziqulathe izibulali-zinambuzane ezingama-268 ezaphula ii-EPA MRLs okanye eziqulathe iintsalela ezingamkelekanga. Iisampulu eziqulethe amayeza okubulala izitshabalalisi ngentla kokunyamezelana okumiselweyo kuquka i-12 amaqunube amatsha amnyama, iqunube eli-1 elikhenkcezisiweyo, i-peach yosana e-1, i-celery emi-3, idiliya eli-9, iqunube eli-18 letart, kunye netumato ezi-4.
Iintsalela ezinamaqondo okunyamezelana angamiselwanga zichongiwe kwi-197 esitsha kunye nesampulu zeziqhamo kunye nemifuno esetyenzisiweyo kunye nesampuli enye ye-almond. Iimveliso ezazingenazo iisampulu zezibulali zinambuzane ezinokunyamezela okungamiselwanga zibandakanya iiavokhado, i-apulasi yomntwana, ii-ertyisi zomntwana, amapere, umbona omtsha oswiti, umbona oswiti omkhenkce, kunye neediliya.
I-PDP iphinda ibeke iliso ekuboneleleni kokutya kwezinto ezingcolileyo eziqhubekayo (i-POPs), kuquka i-pesticides evaliweyo e-United States kodwa ihlale kwindawo kwaye inokufunxwa zizityalo. Ngokomzekelo, i-DDT enetyhefu, i-DDD, kunye ne-DDE ifunyenwe kwi-2.7 yeepesenti yeetapile, i-0.9 ipesenti ye-celery, kunye ne-0.4 yepesenti yokutya kwe-carrot baby.
Ngelixa iziphumo ze-USDA ze-PDP zibonisa ukuba amanqanaba entsalela ye-pesticide ahambelana nemida yokunyamezela i-EPA unyaka nonyaka, abanye abavumi ukuba iimveliso zezolimo zase-US zikhuselekile ngokupheleleyo kwimingcipheko ye-pesticide. Ngo-Aprili 2024, IiNgxelo zabaThengi zipapashe uhlalutyo lweminyaka esixhenxe yedatha ye-PDP, ebonisa ukuba imida yokunyamezela kwe-EPA yayibekwe phezulu kakhulu. IiNgxelo zabaThengi ziphinde zavavanya idatha ye-PDP kusetyenziswa ibhenchmark engezantsi kwe-EPA MRL kwaye yakhalisa i-alamu kwezinye iimveliso. Isishwankathelo sohlalutyo lweeNgxelo zabaThengi sinokufundwa apha.
