DOOM PESTICIDE FACES BAN FROM ZAMBIAN MARKET

By Joan Musabila

Zambia Environmental Management Agency ZEMA is consulting with stakeholders on the possibility of phasing out Doom pesticide and other hazardous chemicals from the Zambian market.

Speaking in an interview with Diamond news ZEMA Public Relations Manager, Friday Phiri says 20 substances including DDT and Mercury have already been listed for phase out and consultations with stake holders to ban the importation and sale of doom have also reached an advanced stage.

Mr. Phiri says the Agency notes with concern the high levels of abuse on doom as a su***de substance despite regulations that have been put in place on the sale hence the decision.

Mr. Phiri says the whole purpose of sale of doom is to be used as a pesticide as opposed to what is being seen in some section of society.

TOUCHING: MY name is Monica Chasha. I am the young lady with bleeding problem ( prolonged periods).

I would like to say thank you to everyone who came on board and assisted me both financially and spiritually.
The response from the members of public was overwhelming.

A good Samaritan based in USA also came on board and took me to a private hospital where I was given some medication to stop the bleeding.I also did some tests and I am now waiting for results.

The bleeding has reduced and I am now putting on normal sanitary pads.

I feel much better and I am now even able to move around and do things without anybody helping me.
