BAN ENDOSULFAN!

DO WE NEED THIS POISON?????

“crippled childhood,ruined lives and shattered hopes

This is all what endosulfan has gifted India”

SAY NO TO THIS BRUTAL KILLER!”

Endosulfan is basically an insecticide used to destroy pests and is primarily used by farmers to destroy pests which are harmful to their crops. The issue is that India is the main producer & exporter of this insecticide, but also is a member of the Stockholm Convention, which was established to protect the health of humans & the environment. So, as per this Convention, member countries should not use, produce, export, etc anything which is harmful to human health and the environment. Now the Stockholm Convention has tagged endosulfan as harmful and included it in their list of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Research studies allegedly state that endosulfan causes birth defects,cancer and is harmful to the male,female reproductive system .

The  recent study done in a village in Kasargod, Kerala revealed some shocking harmful effects of the endosulfan.

Other than India, apparently only China and Argentina are opposing  the ban whereas most member countries of the Stockholm Convention are supporting the ban.

WHEN WILL THE AUTHORITIES OPEN THEIR EYES?
