In mosquitoes from the 1960s we find the rdl A296S mutation, which confers resistance to dieldrin. However, we do not observe any of the known DDT resistance alleles among the historic mosquitoes, even though phenotypic resistance has been reported since the late 1950s. 6/8

🌍 We hebben dringend een #PestiScore nodig. Te vaak worden pesticiden eerst toegelaten — en jaren later verboden. Na schade aan gezondheid, drinkwater en ecosystemen. Denk aan: Atrazine. Chlordecone. Dieldrin. PFAS. Systeem is te traag en te industrievriendelijk. https://ow.ly/IpR650YcY25
Opinie: Waarom we dringend behoefte hebben aan een Pesti-Score
Het besef van de risico’s van het gebruik van gif voor mens, dier en natuur moet omhoog. Hoe mooi zou het zijn als iedereen zou kunnen weten wat er in groente, fruit en bloemen zit?

Take a moment today & do a search for “fish consumption advisory” plus the name of your “state”. You will be surprised to find there’s a lot of waterways even your state says don’t eat certain fish out of them or limit consumption. Mercury, dieldrin, pcb, & other toxins. But EPA is being cut.

For years, a banned pesticide sat in a Yigo drinking-water well. Residents weren't told to stop drinking it for more than 10 years.
Federal officials flagged elevated dieldrin levels in Guam’s drinking water as early as 2012. Residents weren’t warned until 2025.

Study participants were found to be exposed to banned pesticides such as DDT, dieldrin and propoxur.
Researchers noted the risk to health of absorbing a cocktail of chemicals which have only been tested for safety individually.
This synergy also makes it harder to hold manufacturers accountable.
