During an investigation of 113 horticultural company thirty illegal crop protection products were found in the surrounding bodies of water . Both effectual and illegal crop protection ware can be trace back to the horticultural company , as is register by the investigation conducted in the Danish town of Odense .
The horticultural company are not capable enough to protect the nature against the crop protection products they are using . The pollution come from the watering systems and the storage of plant remains . This is one of the conclusions of a new review news report of the Odense town , which is based on the information of 113 horticultural companies in Odense and its surrounding area .
At 111 more horticultural companies , measurement of the fertilizers and crop tribute products the companies acquit in the border waters will be submit . “ We have discovered that it is more difficult to deal with the problem than one would originally think . It is not a simple-minded issue of diverting some tube . Companies will need to correct the watering system in a way that no water will be fire in the surrounding area . And contaminated plant stay will take to be stored in a different way , ” says Knud Søndergaard of the Agriculture & Nature sphere in the city council of Odense .
Far above the limit valueAlmost half of all of the Danish horticultural companies is base in , or around , Odense . Out of all the meaning found in the water around Odense , there are thirty that are prohibited in Denmark and in the EU . One of these substances is the insect repellent known as Dichlorvos which , fit in to the report , can be found in an amount that is 30,000 higher than the boundary value decided by the EU . This has been the case since December 2018 .
Illegal substances are perhaps originating from imported plantsJørgen K. Andersen of the interestingness group Dansk Gartneri explains that , from new investigation , it was proven that the water from , for representative , plant originating from China , was foul . So it appears that it is potential that the pollution is due to imported plant . “ That is why the cultivator have settle to reserve the supplier to a high criterion in this regard , ” he supply . The fact that the polluting has been run low on for a long time already is something he does not deny . “ Many horticultural caller have been around for ten or fifty years already . It takes prison term to solve all of the problem . ”
The town of Odense expects it to take a foresighted sentence before the waters will be entirely blank again . “ We will convene with the Environmental Council and will also utter with the horticultural companies . We have already started doing this , but it train a sight of time , so in the forthcoming year we will have to dispense with the problems little by piffling , ” is what Knud Søndergaard believe . First of all , the township has taken a couple of countermeasures that are , among others , base on the experiences in the Netherlands , like :
1 . Pre - discourse of the discharge water before it find discharged.2 . energise the full reusing of discharge water.3 . After discussing with the Environmental council setting limit point to the use of relevant crop trade protection products .
