Kemenkes Akan Bekerja Sama dengan Kementan Tanggapi Isu Pestisida di Anggur Shine Muscat
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Kementerian Kesehatan (Kemenkes) akan bekerja sama dengan Badan Karantina Indonesia dan Kementerian Pertanian (Kementan) dalam merespons isu kontaminasi pestisida pada anggur Shine Muscat di Thailand dan Malaysia yang melebihi batas aman.
Kepala Biro Komunikasi dan Pelayanan Publik Kemenkes Aji Muhawarman, Selasa (29/10) mengatakan, tiap jenis pestisida memiliki risiko kesehatan yang berbeda terhadap manusia, tergantung pada senyawa kimia dalam pestisida tersebut, jumlah asupan, yakni residu yang ada dalam bahan makanan, dan lama paparan. Lebih lanjut, Aji mengatakan dampak kesehatan akibat paparan pestisida dalam jangka waktu lama dan dosis yang cukup mengakibatkan gangguan kesehatan, di antaranya gangguan kinerja endokrin dan gangguan fungsi hati dan ginjal yang disebabkan oleh pestisida dengan efek sistemik.
Aji mengimbau masyarakat agar lebih cermat dalam mengolah sayur dan buah-buahan, seperti mencuci buah secara seksama dengan air mengalir atau merendam dengan larutan tertentu, seperti larutan garam atau cuka, untuk mengurangi residu pestisida.
