Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 10:56 The President of Argentina: Dr. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the people of the Peoples of Argentina fumigated, the entire Argentine people:
Members health teams sprayed Peoples of Argentina, together with scientists, researchers and academics convened by the Faculty of Medical Sciences in the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, as well as students of the University Reform of 1918, we an obligation, we, of call all things by the name they have . So we say:
That, as the inhabitants of sprayed People have been denouncing for several years, aggression is very important to human health in populations of the localities under constant spraying in Argentina, and that the situation is worsening daily.
That severe diseases such as cancers, spontaneous abortions, fertility problems and birth of children with congenital malformations are detected far more frequently. That respiratory, endocrine, neurological, hematological and psychological are also much more common in populations systematically sprayed as a result of the current agro-production model.
That this situation began to observe the implementation of agro-production practice, including the massive use of chemical pesticides.
That the use of pesticides is increasing every year, and that increased consumption grew at 14 percent by 1000.
That the villagers fumigated (12 million) are directly spraying with these poisons, because they are done on their homes by air or by land to the very limit of their homes and localities.
That the phenomenon we observe is repeated relentlessly in all provinces where this practice is carried out productive.
That research data published in international refereed journals, in experimental models with various pesticides, including glyphosate, provide a strong plausibility that biological causation explain the clinical manifestations observed in our patients.
That systematic review of clinical and epidemiological observation, well constructed, generates evidence that is strong and consistent enough to recognize that exposure to pesticides increases the risk of adversely affecting human health through a wide range of situations involving exposure to vulnerable populations.
which progress is urgent in the public restrictions on pesticide use, and that within a few months in the sowing of soybean, it began again to poison people massively fumigated Peoples of Argentina.
It is necessary to apply the PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE established in the General Environment Law No. 25,675, Art4 º .-, which says: Where there are threats of serious or irreversible lack of information or scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures, cost, to prevent environmental degradation.
As:
require the President to the Nation, the Minister of Health and the Minister of the Interior to protect the health and lives of the people of the Peoples spraying and fumigation immediately PROHIBITED air throughout the national territory, as established in the European Union, and restrict them away from the limited ground spraying of urban plants peoples.
urge the National Congress to try and adopt laws that prohibit aerial spraying across the country, the land away from people and are considered to spraying illegal crimes against health and the environment.
summon all medical schools in the country and all public universities to join us in defending the right to life, health and healthy environment, to demand that urgent action is taken we claim and, we ask that stimulate research and extension programs on this issue and develop environmental health content in the various educational bodies.
believe that in addition to stop spraying, it should also ban the use of any pesticide mode of toxicological classes I and II and put into question the current model of agro-industrial production and transgenic and search systems to social and cultural integration and the defense and reproduction of the ecological conditions of our environment.
Finally, we call on all members of health teams in general, students, neighbors peoples and all understand that in this democracy need to be prioritized values \u200b\u200bsuch as health and the environment on economic and commercial interests of large companies and groups such as Monsanto or the seed pools, to generate a current of opinion in defense the health of people and participate in the Forum fumigated Argentine Health and Environment is constituted .-
