Will we now allow an even greater act of technological genocide?" however.... http://www.chem.duke.edu/~jds/cruise_chem/pest/effects.html "DDT concentrations are especially high in human milk. Milk production depends heavily on the use of stored body fat, and this is where DDT tends to stay in our bodies. 
So exactly how much DDT can my body tolerate before I should really start worrying? That depends on how much you weigh. At concentration above 236 mg DDT per kg of body weight, you'll die. Concentration of 6-10 mg/kg leads to such symptoms as headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, and tremors."
soooo.... it's not OK for babies to die due to "abortion" but it's ok if they die from exposure to DDT.
Moreover: "Initially DDT was spectacularly successful particularly in the control of malaria, as well as against agricultural pests. But by the 1950s, resistance problems had developed, and during the 1960s, a number of serious environmental problems were identified leading to wide-ranging restrictions on its use (see below)(3). In recent years numerous studies on DDT have shown its environmental persistence and its ability to bioaccumulate, especially in higher animals. Of particular concern is its potential to mimic hormones and thereby disrupt endocrine systems in wildlife and possibly humans. " DDT
DDT causes more problems than it solves, INCLUDING that the mosquitoes the DDT was meant to fight actually developed resistance to the DDT. |
