紐約市擬禁草甘膦等化學殺蟲劑 市議長指將投票

2015年和2017年,第290公立學校數十名學生前往市議會,為一項擬議中的法律作證,該法律要求城市的公共場所禁用化學除草劑,然而,六年來,禁令一直擱置。根據最新進展,市議會議長張晟表示將在本月對該法案進行投票。

市議員卡洛斯在2019年4月提交文件,尋求在紐約市禁用化學殺蟲劑和除草劑,立法的主要目的是禁用草甘膦除草劑,該物質與致癌有關。如今法案已有32名聯合發起人,起草人指,立法的一個主要障礙是市公園管理局,該部門負責管理城市多數殺蟲劑和除草劑的使用,卡洛斯表示無法説服該部門該化學物質有毒,將對工作人員和市民造成傷害。

六年來,禁令一直在市議會受阻,對此,市議會議長張晟表示將在本月對該法案進行投票。然而,紐約市公園管理局已經表示,將尋求禁令的特殊豁免情況。

在2020年1月關於該法案的聽證會上,公園管理局第一副局長卡瓦納指,部門支持在特殊情況繼續使用該除草劑,比如在樹木茂密的地區用以預防入侵物種,或減少交通地帶雜草叢生,以及應對公共危機等情況。卡瓦納也指,部門在2018年采取了新政策,只在綠化項目中使用此類物質,並用於有針對性地控制有毒常青藤。

草甘膦由美國跨國農業公司「孟山都」於1974年推出,根據科學研究,該物質與非霍奇金氏淋巴瘤類的癌症有關聯,今年2月,孟山都所屬的制藥公司「拜耳」同意支付20億美元,以解決未來的集體訴訟,該訴訟認為癌症由草甘膦引起。而美環境保護局並不認為草甘膦是致癌物質,不過該部門也正面臨審查,因為郵件顯示,部門官員與孟山都公司代表在2015年協商,試圖減緩對該物質的安全審查。公園管理局的發言人霍華德指,對殺蟲劑的使用在過去四年下降了百分之80。

另外,部門通常稀釋草甘膦,不會在公共草地或人群聚集的地方噴灑。卡洛斯則指,擔心市民不瞭解該物質的危害,且部門也經常在柏油路面使用物質。
