Desde fines de 2001, las integrantes de este colectivo se disponen a luchar por la vida, la salud y el ambiente ante un problema ambiental, que genera más de 200 casos entre enfermedades y muertes, en una población de 5.000 habitantes del barrio, principalmente a causa de las fumigaciones con agrotó… Show more

“…About 200 people had died of cancer, or had cancer or other degenerative diseases, in a neighbourhood of 5,000 people. These figures are much higher than the city average (Berger and Ortega 2010;Carrizo-Sineiro and Berger 2012). The women claimed that this was due to pesticides sprayed on soya and other crops planted nearby.…”

“…It is consumed more than any other agrochemical in Brazil, Argentina and other soy-producing countries in South America even though resistance to it is now widely reported (Nicholls and Altieri 1997;Binimelis, Pengue, and Monterroso 2009;Cerdeira, Gazziero, and Matallo 2011), and it has been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and multiple South American scholars as 'probably carcinogenic to humans' (Guyton et al 2015;Silva et al 2015), and associated with multiple other serious health problems (Marc et al 2004;Richard et al 2005;Benachour and Séralini 2009;Berger and Ortega 2010;Paganelli et al 2010;Moreira et al 2010;Oliveira et al 2014). Even breast milk in soy production regions has been contaminated by agrochemicals (Palma et al 2014).…”

“…Several concerns have to do with the environmental impacts of the soy fields on their own sites, particularly as direct and indirect exposure to agrochemicals generates problematic levels of human and environmental poisoning (Altieri and Pengue 2006;Rulli 2007;GRR 2009;Berger and Ortega 2010;Moreira et al 2010;Arancibia 2013;Palma et al 2014;Silva et al 2015). Further longitudinal and epidemiological studies remain to be carried out, but enough evidence has emerged for the WHO to list glyphosate as 'probably carcinogenic to humans' (Guyton et al 2015).…”

“…También ha existido, aunque en menor medida, una preocupación por el acceso inequitativo a los espacios verdes urbanos (Vásquez y Salgado, 2009) En Argentina se han realizado investigaciones sobre la exposición a agrotóxicos en zonas urbanas (Berger, 2009), el acceso desigual a servicios públicos (García 2003) y la distribución de indicadores de calidad ambiental entre distintas ciudades (Calemin, 2012). En Bolivia se han realizado dos investigaciones sobre el acceso desigual al agua en un ambiente urbano (Bustamante, 2012;Crespo, 2009).…”
