the silent spring - DDT and dangerous chemicals

one first thought that DDT was an excellent weed-killer.

but in 1962 rachel carson wrote the book - the silent spring -, that made clear how dangerous DDT was.

- the silent spring - referred to the total silent, that emerged after DDT. it was not only the weed, that had died, but also all other forms of life, on the fields that had been sprayed with DDT.

after that DDT was forbidden, as one of the most dangerous chemicals.

in european union one sends out a bigger and bigger amout of chemicals. and many of them, are not all to well tested. or is offen left to the firm itself, to test new chemicals, without any further control.

so it is probably just a question of time, before new DDT-scandals emerge, with unknow consequences for the environment.
