BellingenNSW<p>Pets, pesticides and polluted rivers</p><p>"Fipronil and imidacloprid are widely used in flea treatments, which are typically applied to the back of the pet’s neck once a month.These two chemicals are extremely potent neurotoxic insecticides and it is deeply concerning that they are routinely found on the hands of dog owners through ongoing contact with their pet. Pet owners will also be upset to learn that they are accidentally polluting our rivers by using these products.”</p><p>"The insecticides used in the flea products flow down household drains when pet owners wash their hands after applying the treatment. Wastewater from sewage treatment works is a leading source of fipronil and imidacloprid pollution in rivers, with concentrations exceeding safe limits for wildlife."<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/01/vets-pesticide-flea-treatments-river-pollution-pet-owners-toxic-insecticides-hands" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/environment/20</span><span class="invisible">24/feb/01/vets-pesticide-flea-treatments-river-pollution-pet-owners-toxic-insecticides-hands</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pesticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pesticide</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pets</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dogs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rivers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/OneHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OneHealth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/neonicotinoids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neonicotinoids</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/neurotoxins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurotoxins</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fipronil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fipronil</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellinger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bellinger</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/platypus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>platypus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingerRiverSnappingTurtle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BellingerRiverSnappingTurtle</span></a></p>
