| dcterms.description | Campaigners fighting against the use of hazardous pesticides maintain that very little is done to inform local users in the Third World about the dangers of these chemicals. The Pesticide Action Network (PAN) says that most of the pesticides included in its 'Dirty Dozen' list have been banned or heavily restricted in industrialised countries but continue to be sold and used widely in the Third World. Those pesticides are: HCH/ Lindane, Toxaphene, Chlordane/Heptachlor, Chlordimeform, DBCP, DDT, Aldrin/ Dieldrin/Endrin, EDB, Pentachlorophenol (PCP), Paraquat, Parathion and 2, 4, 5, T. At least 750,000 people are poisoned yearly by pesticides, 14,000 of them fatally. | en |
