Melander’s warning was becoming a reality. By 1992 more than 500 species were resistant to DDT, and the number is still climbing. As DDT began to fail, farmers at first just applied more of it; when more no longer worked, they switched to newer pesticides....

DDT is so stable it can take generations to break down. It doesn't really dissolve in water but stores easily in fat. Compounding these problems is what scientists today call "biomagnification": the toxin accumulating in the tissues of animals in greater and greater concentrations as it moves ...
Through the careful buying of organically produced veggies, avoiding foods that contain preservatives and reducing your consumption of animal foods, you can make a major change in your body's health. But if you don't clean out this excessive waste build up, you've only done half the job and...

Use of pesticides is poorly regulated and often dangerous; their easy availability also makes them a popular method of self-harm. In 1985, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) produced a voluntary code of conduct for the pesticide industry in an attempt to limit the harmful effects ...
efolium. The crushed flower has been used as an insecticide forover 2,000 years. Inhaling too much of the flower’s scent is harmful as it can cause side effects such as asthmatic breathing, sneezing, and headaches. Pyrethroids are chemically similar to pyrethrin but synthetically produced....
survivors were able to pass the ability to survive exposure to DDT and chlordane to following generations. Over many generations, large portions of populations can then become resistant to insecticides. It is possible within a single town or city to find both populations of cockroaches that are re...
This entry focuses mainly on the chemical DDT, which is over consumed on various vegetation, however, the overall idea is regarding our environment and how human actions are abolishing it, although it may be unintentional. To be more specific, the central idea consists of the environmental action...
