Is there "medicine" in the medicine? Who will manage?

Recently, some media disclosed an unnamed third-party test report from overseas institutions, aiming at the serious problem of pesticide residues in Chinese herbal medicine samples from China Is that the case? The reporter visited the relevant regulatory authorities and authorities of traditional Chinese medicine Is "pesticide residue" serious? It is reported that the overseas organization has purchased 7 kinds of 35 samples of commonly used Chinese herbal medicines in 7 countries for testing, 32 samples have detected more than 3 kinds of pesticide residues, and nearly half of the samples have detected pesticides classified as highly toxic and highly toxic by the World Health Organization There is no doubt that the conclusion that there are "drugs" in the drugs will make consumers afraid However, some experts interviewed by reporters believe that the quality of traditional Chinese medicine can not be denied without the information released by authoritative departments Qian Zhongzhi, chief scientist of the national pharmacopoeia commission, said that the use of pesticides plays an important role in the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine and plant medicine, but in the process of use, it is necessary to strictly manage, monitor and prohibit highly toxic pesticides According to Qian Zhongzhi, "pesticide residue" is not equivalent to "excessive pesticide" According to the data provided by experts from the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine, for more than 500 kinds of common Chinese herbal medicines in China, according to China's "pesticide residue" test standard, the "pesticide residue" exceeding standard rate obtained by domestic test is less than 10%, which is quite different from the exceeding standard rate obtained by overseas institutions only testing 65 kinds of herbal medicines Ren Dequan, chairman of the Alliance for co construction and sharing of traditional Chinese medicine bases, said that after the implementation of gap in June 2002, most of the certified traditional Chinese medicine production bases can strictly control the use of pesticides Analysts believe that China's traditional Chinese medicine "pesticide residue" test standards? What's the difference with the foreign testing standards? Authorities did not release relevant information, so there is no clear answer to why the difference between domestic testing and overseas testing is so large Facing up to the problem of "agricultural disability" a few days ago, the reporter did not get a clear response when he asked the State Drug Administration, agriculture, environmental protection departments and other departments for confirmation on some of the above issues The drug regulatory department said that problems in the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine could be verified with the agricultural department, while the agricultural department said that the leading department for the development planning of traditional Chinese medicine is not the agricultural department, which could be verified with the drug regulatory department Cao Mingkun, director of Anhui pesticide Inspection Institute, said that the use and management of pesticides should be clear about the main responsibility of relevant departments and strengthen supervision "Environmental protection, agriculture and local government's business guidance is not enough In the case of drug farmers' awareness of environmental protection to be improved, compulsory measures must be taken to clarify the division of labor as soon as possible." Ye Yuqing, deputy director of Shanghai Traditional Chinese medicine quality supervision and inspection station, said that on the one hand, we should attach great importance to the health impact of pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicine on patients; on the other hand, we should clarify the regulatory responsibilities of relevant departments to better ensure the safety of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine Bian fossil, general manager of Shanghai modern traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd., said that due to the lack of supervision, some raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine do have the problem of "agricultural residues" exceeding the standard Some pesticides are not degradable After ingestion, they may form enrichment effect in the body, and long-term ingestion will affect metabolism Fan Shuiyu, senior manager of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai Xinyi pharmacy, said that people are paying more and more attention to the quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine We should face the problem directly, and the relevant departments must strengthen supervision, otherwise it will not only affect the reputation of traditional Chinese Medicine in the world, but also have a negative impact on the health of drug users Who is in charge of supervision? Experts pointed out that the regulatory authorities should publish authoritative data, strengthen the detection of "agricultural residues", and strictly manage the production and circulation of pesticides; at the same time, implement gap supervision at the source to ensure the quality and safety of Chinese herbal medicines "To some extent, the problem of" agricultural residues "of Chinese herbal medicines is caused by cost factors It can be achieved technically to get rid of the "agricultural residues" exceeding the standard In the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, other methods can be adopted to gradually reduce the use of chemical pesticides, and finally "Zero agricultural residues" can be achieved " Bian said fossil prices In fact, many gap bases of traditional Chinese medicine can achieve zero agricultural residues Ren Dequan said that the implementation of gap in traditional Chinese medicine enterprises by the state today is mainly based on encouragement, which is not compulsory In the future, we need to "support high-quality enterprises and achieve high quality and good price" For enterprises that do not meet the gap standard, even if the certification is passed, they should be eliminated resolutely Ren Dequan said that for the production and circulation of banned pesticides, the regulatory authorities should take practical responsibility to block the possibility of their entry into the production of traditional Chinese medicine from the source; encourage the docking of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises and farmers, place orders according to the needs of enterprises, and control the material safety from the source; encourage large enterprises to establish the production base of traditional Chinese medicine, or build and share, and form one or two source bases to stabilize Order source Bian said that at present, many export products of traditional Chinese medicine have to go through 48 pesticide residue tests and more than 10 heavy metal tests For example, for traditional Chinese medicine listed in Hong Kong, "agricultural residue" tests are very strict, and even some pesticide types are not used in the mainland at all So as long as the quality of traditional Chinese medicine is improved, it can stand the test of foreign "magnifying glass".
