From IU Verdes they want to denounce that in the previous days or even once the prohibition to go out to exercise was lifted, the City of Jumilla more than likely, has made and is making an indiscriminate use of herbicide for herb control.From the environmental training they also want to point out that at a time when the gardens and playgrounds for children and biohealth are closed, the use of the other free spaces and of the streets is much greater so that the possible problems would be greater than in other ocasions.There are quite a few areas and streets where it seems to have been applied, the effects are already noticeable and typical of herbicides that are not ecological and coincide with the effects of glyphosate, one of the most common herbicides.Non-ecological herbicides have harmful effects if a person or pet makes use of these areas in recent periods of their application or if they are highly exposed to that soil.The treated areas in which the almost certain use of herbicide is already palpable are the following: Avenida Ronda Poniente on both banks, continuation of Ronda Poniente, district of La Estacada, Plaza del Camionero, end of Calle Goya, calle Ingeniero la Cierva and Agrarian Education A long time ago, IU Verdes presented a motion not to use the famous glyphosate, the most common herbicide, it was rejected by the PSOE and we are almost sure that this product continues to be used in an important way and not merely in a timely manner.
