I am Chair and founder of Save the River Usk and Protecter of the Wye .
.We are a voluntary group of Citizen scientists who regularly test water and are increasingly concerned with the amount of pesticides found in our Rivers and lakes .These pesticides are having devastating impact on our Ecosystems and are extremely dangerous to our environment.

A single dose on a large dog of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid – commonly found in tick and flea
treatments – is enough to kill millions of honeybees. Environment Agency data shows that pesticides
used in veterinary medicines are present in many of Wales England’s rivers in concentrations that exceed
accepted safe limits, posing a high risk to aquatic ecosystems.
Significant contributors to this environmental contamination are five pesticide active substances
that are not allowed to be used on agricultural crops due to their impact on human health and/or
the environment. The five chemicals are detailed in the table below. They include:
• all five are highly toxic to bees (including a recently banned and controversial neonicotinoid)
• two that contaminate groundwater
• two that have links to cancer
• two suspected endocrine disrupters https://theriverstrust.org/about-us/news/flea-mergency-pet-treatments-taking-a-bite-out-of-the-health-of-englands-rivers
Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?
Mae’n ymwneud â rhywbeth nad yw’r Senedd na Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano.
Mae Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn cadarnhau graddau pŵer y Senedd i wneud cyfreithiau newydd a diwygio cyfraith bresennol (a elwir hefyd yn gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol). Mae Atodlenni 7A and 7B o Ddeddf 2006 yn nodi’r materion sy’n gyfyngedig neu a gedwir yn ôl - h.y. meysydd lle y caiff Senedd y DU, nid Senedd Cymru, ddeddfu.
O ganlyniad, nid yw’n bosibl i’r Senedd gymryd y camau y mae eich deiseb yn galw amdanynt.

Mae’n bosibl y byddwch am gyflwyno deiseb i Senedd y DU, a gallwch wneud hynny drwy ddilyn y linc a ganlyn: https://petition.parliament.uk/
Dim ond deisebau nad ydynt yn bodloni’r safonau ar gyfer deisebau y byddwn yn eu gwrthod
Mae deisebau a wrthodwyd yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y cawsant eu cyflwyno ynddi
