我们的传粉媒介面临的一个关键新风险已被确定为暴露于新烟碱类杀虫剂。这些发现加剧了关于新烟碱类杀虫剂是否应该被禁止的争论，在这场斗争中使用了相互矛盾的证据。然而，这个问题不是黑或白，而是灰色的。这不是新烟碱类杀虫剂对昆虫是否有毒的问题。显然，所有杀虫剂都是针对这一属性进行设计和优化的。真正的问题是，或者至少应该是，哪种杀虫剂对特定需求的使用是最安全的。
A key new risk to our pollinators has been identified as exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides. These discoveries have refuelled the debate over whether or not the neonicotinoid insecticides should be banned and conflicting evidence is used in this battle. However, the issue is not black or white, but gray. It is not an issue of whether the neonicotinoids are toxic to insects or not. Clearly, all insecticides were designed and optimized for this attribute. The real question is, or at least should be, which insecticide is the safest for use for a particular need.
