]]> Comment on Inversion Layer Holds Methyl Bromide Down Over Picton by alison fletcher http://www.guardiansofthesounds.co.nz/wordpress/index.php/2009/02/inversion-layer-holds-methyl-bromide-down-over-picton/#comment-43 alison fletcher Mon, 09 Feb 2009 01:07:00 +0000 http://www.guardiansofthesounds.co.nz/wordpress/?p=175#comment-43 It seems everyone is in paralysis mode until such time as ERMA decides what its stance on Methyl Bromide will be. In the meantime Picton people are being treated as guinea pigs. If in the future effects are found, as is the case with various other pesticides, it will be too late for those people. Here's hoping the MDC and Marl Port Company will use the precautionary principle and stop the fumigation using methyl bromide at Shakespeare Bay.

They are aware, and have been for some years, of the problems associated with Methyl Bromide. Council therefore should be able to provide to the community reports on the use of MB with dates and quantities used. I believe Port Marlborough would be required under legislation (Health and Safety?) and by Council to provide such records. Further the Council should be able to provide monitoring dates and their assessment on the risk to the community. This would include the cumulative long term effect of MB and Council's method to prevent or mitigate any adverse affect as stated in the MSRM. I assume this has been done by Council and we have nothing to fear?
