Eternal pollutant found in European wine
propagandahe European wine It is not immune to eternal pollutants. These are the conclusions of a study published on Wednesday General Europe (Action Network EUROPE, in order to shorten it in English, the European Work Against Insecticide Network in Spanish). The NGO document highlights an increase in TFA moleculesPFAS residue, in European bottles purchased in supermarkets.
the studyIt was carried out in 10 countries Wine producers From the European Union, it sometimes reveals levels 100 times from those in drinking water, according to NGOs, which warn of pollution From multiple sources. All this Fallor gases Salome Roynel, who is responsible for Pan Eurobe policies, explains that we find again in our cooling systems very present and in fact they are released. “
As for the Water pollution Underground, we know that the main source is Pesticides PFAS, because these materials are sprayed directly on the ground, polluting crops and ending in the groundwater, “and the person responsible for Europe adds.
A turning point in 1988
The investigation of the wine allows you to conduct a time study and return in a timely manner. Non -governmental organizations note that there are no effects of AGT (unsaturated fatty acids) in wine before 1988. But as of that date, the increase is gradual and accelerating from 2010. According to BREAD EUROPE, this change is explained in the late eighties by signature signature Montreal protocolWhich was his goal Ozone layer protection Through the gradual elimination of chemicals.
“The Montreal Protocol was the one that led to the use of fluoride gases that emitted TFA, and it was also the period in which PFAs developed,” “We can see a clear susceptibility between the growth of pollution or wine pollution by AGT and the growth of fluores and reserve.”
Sumay for rabbits
Pan Eurobe also explains that you have found Track TFA inEnvironmental wine. Therefore, NGOs require a preventive approach, because this molecule is “a substance that has been outside the radar for a long time. There are very few studies on your toxicity“Salome Roinel admitted.
However, recent studies conducted by industry showed Harmful effects on rabbit embryosThis indicates reproductive toxicity, and, accordingly, the effects of the development of the fetus, “continues Roynel and admits this It is possible to get rid of AGT particles. However, the Technology is expensiveIt consumes a lot of energy and requires water. This raises the issue of the subsequent use of this treated water and pollution.
Pan EUROPE benefits from this report to invite European UNIó member states. The 27 is scheduled to meet next month to negotiate the possibility Perfect pesticides are prohibited.
