Beware! Those carrots could make you sick
Niranjan Kaggere writes in today's Bangalore Mirror...
The fresh and nutrition- rich vegetables sold in the markets of Bengaluru have left the state government worried! In a major shock to veggielovers several vegetables and fruit sold in the markets of Bengaluru tested positive for pesticide residue, particularly organo chlorine pesticides that can take toll on your nervous and digestive system and weaken muscles!
A random check conducted by the Horticulture department run Bio Centre in Hulimavu on different vegetables has revealed shocking details about the 'freshness' and nutrition value of vegetables.
Fruits like papaya, vegetables including cabbage, green chilli, capsicum, carrot, tomato, bottle gourd and ginger were found to contain considerable amounts of the banned pesticide.
Acknowledging the results of the test, Horticulture minister Dr Shyamanoor Shivashankarappa said, "In a random check conducted recently at our centre on vegetables and fruits available from Bengaluru's markets, traces of the banned organo chlorine pesticide were seen.
"The department has been advising farmers not to use these pesticides and use only those pesticides suggested by the department." Shivashankarappa added, "Dicofol pesticide was preferred by farmers to prevent flies and pests in Bhindi (okra), brinjal, bitter-gourd, chilli and beans crops. But the demand for these pesticides has drastically come down after awareness drives by the department."
Sources in the Horticulture department said that even though the number of farmers using organo chlorine pesticide has come down, a few still use it.
"The government has already banned pesticides with these contents. Yet farmers continue to use them. Even though it safeguards the crop from pests and insects, the residue will remain in the vegetable.
"Proper washing in warm water will help remove the content," revealed a senior official from the Horticulture department.
Meanwhile, a consulting physician from a leading hospital told Bangalore Mirror that a short-term exposure to organo chlorine pesticide would result in convulsions, headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, slurred speech and sweating.
"Long-term exposure due to consumption of such vegetables may damage the liver, kidney and central nervous system," he said. Senior BJP Leader and MLC Ramachandre Gowda caught the government's attention about this trend at the Legislative Council and urged the government to discourage the use of pesticides with any of these harmful contents as they are a health hazard.

Why you need natural light!
We all need natural light to survive. Though artificial lighting helps in providing enough luminescence for us to work and live, it is the natural light that helps us stay alive. Natural light is the best disinfectant and is very pleasing and comforting to the eyes. When choosing a house, make sure you have natural lighting coming into the rooms and living areas, at least once in a while during the day. Preferably where you live most of the time. Several studies have shown that your productivity improves when you work in natural light and it improves your health.
At Samskruti, we design homes with loads of natural lighting coming into your home and you would be amazed to see how low the power bill will be. Sunlight is one of the perennial sources of energy and it is a luxury to even see sunlight once in a while in the cluttered homes in Bangalore. We try to avoid that. Come and see our model flat and you would find how brightly lit they are and yet comfortable to stay in. Natural lighting is essential for our well being and Samskruti enables you to experience that.
If you are already living in a home without access to sunlight, I would encourage you to check out options to see how to get sunlight in your home. May be painting lighter colors would help, may be painting a reflecting wall that allows light to stream in to your home can help. Check for options or seek expert help.
May you lead a healthy and productive life - Live the Samskruti way :)
