Mudança climática está estragando os alimentos mais rapidamente; veja como evitar

Escrito en MEIO AMBIENTE E SUSTENTABILIDADE el 28/4/2025 · 11:15 hs

Pesquisadores alertam que o aquecimento global está facilitando a contaminação dos alimentos por bactérias e outros germes, colocando em risco a saúde de milhões de pessoas todos os anos. 

O aumento do calor, das inundações e das secas frequentes está acelerando a deterioração dos alimentos e ampliando o risco de surtos de doenças transmitidas pela comida. A OMS estima que 600 milhões de pessoas adoecem por esse motivo a cada ano, com 420 mil mortes — 125 mil delas entre crianças menores de cinco anos.

Estudos mostram que, a cada aumento de 1°C na temperatura, o risco de infecção por salmonela e campylobacter cresce 5%. Calor extremo acelera a multiplicação de bactérias em produtos perecíveis como carnes, laticínios e frutos do mar. A alta umidade também favorece o crescimento de patógenos em hortaliças consumidas cruas.

No México, uma pesquisa associou os surtos de salmonela a regiões com temperaturas acima de 35°C e alta precipitação. Outro estudo recente concluiu que as mudanças climáticas devem intensificar ainda mais as doenças causadas pela Salmonella enterica, que hoje já afeta cerca de 1,2 milhão de pessoas por ano apenas nos EUA.

Durante ondas de calor, alimentos prontos para consumo ficam ainda mais vulneráveis, alerta Hudaa Neetoo, professora associada da Universidade de Maurício. “Sem uma etapa final de aquecimento, microrganismos patogênicos podem atingir níveis suficientes para causar doenças”, explica.

Inundações 

As inundações, além de danificar plantações, levam esgoto e esterco para os campos, contaminando vegetais e frutas. A lavagem caseira, sozinha, não elimina todos os riscos. Em casos mais graves, patógenos podem penetrar nas raízes das plantas, tornando a descontaminação quase impossível.

O uso de águas residuais tratadas na irrigação, prática comum em áreas com escassez de água, também traz riscos. Martin Richter, do Instituto Federal Alemão de Avaliação de Riscos, lembra que até uma única cópia de um patógeno pode causar infecção. “Água doce deve ser priorizada para culturas consumidas cruas”, recomenda.

As recomendações incluem consumir alimentos frescos, armazená-los corretamente e evitar o reaproveitamento de sobras. Também é necessário investir em infraestrutura para resistir a eventos extremos, melhorar o monitoramento de doenças e desenvolver novas técnicas de descontaminação.

Especialistas destacam ainda a necessidade de mudar a percepção pública: “Muitos ainda acham que só o manuseio inadequado contamina os alimentos”, diz Hamad, da Universidade Benha, no Egito. “Poucos reconhecem que o clima tem impacto direto no que comemos e em nossa saúde.”

The recent imposition of a 125 per cent tariff increase on Chinese textile and apparel products by the United States marks a significant turning point in global trade dynamics. In textile and apparel products, the tariff is likely to disrupt China’s price advantage, with potential gains for Vietnam, Bangladesh, and other nations with established trade ties with the US.President Donald Trump’s recent decision to impose, effective April 10, a sweeping 125 per cent tariff on Chinese textile and apparel imports—compared to a mere 10 per cent duty on comparable goods from all other countries—has severely undermined China’s price competitiveness in the US market. This enormous tariff disparity makes Chinese products vastly more expensive than those of other suppliers, effectively pricing many Chinese goods out of contention. US importers are expected to respond by shifting orders to alternative sourcing markets to avoid the exorbitant costs, especially favouring suppliers in low-cost manufacturing countries with well-established trade ties to the United States.The imposition of a 125 per cent US tariff on Chinese apparel significantly undermines China's pricing advantage, causing importers to seek alternative sources. Countries like Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Indonesia stand to gain notably across multiple apparel categories. This trade shift presents substantial opportunities for nations with robust apparel manufacturing sectors and established trade with US. Figure 1 Source: TexProIn 2024, the United States imported apparel worth $72.99 billion from its top 15 exporting partners, accounting for approximately 87.2 per cent of its total apparel imports. China remained the leading exporter with $18.39 billion, representing 22 per cent of the market share, followed closely by Vietnam at $15.33 billion (18 per cent) and Bangladesh at $7.40 billion (9 per cent). India ranked fourth with $4.93 billion (6 per cent), showcasing its growing influence in the global apparel trade. Other significant contributors included Indonesia, Cambodia, and several Central American nations, reflecting the diversified sourcing strategy of the US apparel industry.Impact on apparel productsFibre2Fashion examines the potential impact on key apparel categories—such as jerseys, trousers, hosiery, and undergarments—among China’s top exports to the US. The imposition of steep tariffs on these products is likely to significantly drive up the cost of Chinese goods in the US market, undermining one of China’s main competitive advantages: low pricing. As China grapples with this substantial setback, countries with lower tariff exposure (around 10 per cent), robust manufacturing capabilities, and well-established trade relationships with the US are well positioned to gain from the resulting shift in sourcing strategies.

If you're still taking TCG ranking requests, may I humbly request Bronzong? I love that little bell.

Excellent pick! Big fan of these things, love Pokemon that have a vibe like they know ancient secrets or something. Did hate trying to figure out if they had Levitate or Heatproof back in gen 4, though.

The recent imposition of a 125 per cent tariff increase on Chinese textile and apparel products by the United States marks a significant turning point in global trade dynamics. In textile and apparel products, the tariff is likely to disrupt China’s price advantage, with potential gains for Vietnam, Bangladesh, and other nations with established trade ties with the US.President Donald Trump’s recent decision to impose, effective April 10, a sweeping 125 per cent tariff on Chinese textile and apparel imports—compared to a mere 10 per cent duty on comparable goods from all other countries—has severely undermined China’s price competitiveness in the US market. This enormous tariff disparity makes Chinese products vastly more expensive than those of other suppliers, effectively pricing many Chinese goods out of contention. US importers are expected to respond by shifting orders to alternative sourcing markets to avoid the exorbitant costs, especially favouring suppliers in low-cost manufacturing countries with well-established trade ties to the United States.The imposition of a 125 per cent US tariff on Chinese apparel significantly undermines China's pricing advantage, causing importers to seek alternative sources. Countries like Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Indonesia stand to gain notably across multiple apparel categories. This trade shift presents substantial opportunities for nations with robust apparel manufacturing sectors and established trade with US. Figure 1 Source: TexProIn 2024, the United States imported apparel worth $72.99 billion from its top 15 exporting partners, accounting for approximately 87.2 per cent of its total apparel imports. China remained the leading exporter with $18.39 billion, representing 22 per cent of the market share, followed closely by Vietnam at $15.33 billion (18 per cent) and Bangladesh at $7.40 billion (9 per cent). India ranked fourth with $4.93 billion (6 per cent), showcasing its growing influence in the global apparel trade. Other significant contributors included Indonesia, Cambodia, and several Central American nations, reflecting the diversified sourcing strategy of the US apparel industry.Impact on apparel productsFibre2Fashion examines the potential impact on key apparel categories—such as jerseys, trousers, hosiery, and undergarments—among China’s top exports to the US. The imposition of steep tariffs on these products is likely to significantly drive up the cost of Chinese goods in the US market, undermining one of China’s main competitive advantages: low pricing. As China grapples with this substantial setback, countries with lower tariff exposure (around 10 per cent), robust manufacturing capabilities, and well-established trade relationships with the US are well positioned to gain from the resulting shift in sourcing strategies.

Local Crude Oil Consumption in the United States

The USA is one of the biggest consumers of crude oil in the world, with a considerable percentage of its energy demands being met by crude oil and petroleum products. The nation's domestic crude oil consumption is driven by several industries, including shipping, residential, commercial, and industrial demands. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently released data showing that in 2023, the country's daily crude oil consumption exceeded 20 million barrels.

The United States trade policy and regulations on crude oil imports

The US government has implemented several policies and initiatives to manage environmental concerns, promote domestic production, and regulate imports of crude oil. The federal government can impose trade restrictions like tariffs and quotas to regulate imports of crude oil.

One of the main laws affecting the import of crude oil is the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which mandates the use of biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel in transportation fuels. This program aims to reduce the nation's dependency on imported crude oil and promote the growth of renewable energy sources.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plays a key role in regulating the crude oil industry by enforcing environmental laws and regulations. These regulations cover many subjects, including greenhouse gas emissions, pollution of the air and water, and the handling and disposal of hazardous materials.

Bottom Line

To sum up, US imports of crude oil are critical to ensuring the nation has a strong and consistent energy supply. Despite being a major producer of crude oil, it imports crude oil to meet its domestic needs. Identifying the impact of the crude oil import market will help policymakers make well-informed decisions to ensure energy security and prosperity in the years to come.
