of poison by philip. environment doesn't know any boundaries you know dust and pollution from china settles in the us you know nuclear radiation from chernobyl went over iceland. what goes up into the environment goes around the world and ultimately this then layer of topsoil. maybe six inches of soil around this hard planet spinning in space represents the dust of our ancestors all of human history and all the other

creatures are in that soil and to contaminate that and the water supply in the air is another forgivable sin it's something that will pay for as a species. in generations to come this senate agriculture committee is considering a bill that would ban the export of dangerous pesticides farm workers from abroad told lawmakers yesterday of devastating health problems from exposure to chemicals made by american companies close to reagan former morio zimbardo used to grow bananas for export to america until he believes the pesticides sprayed on the plants made him and eight hundred other workers and. he told a senate committee there were times when he virtually bathed in a chemical that u.s. companies and officials knew could render men impotent if a chemical is banned or unlicensed as too dangerous to use in america should it be morally wrong to export it somewhere else aside from morality many experts believe americans are eating these pesticides can produce grown over see the so-called

circle of poison. we know the circle of poison really started for me years before when i was in the peace corps in afghanistan and my wife and i were in this little remote northern town called has absolutely nothing to do there and. we were bored and one day we'd. picked up some food from the american embassy when we were in kabul and she was reading the ingredients on the kool-aid packet that she'd gotten which shows there was a lot of greed in telecom and she said holy cow recycle mates in the us i said wait they're banned about the us government how could a banned substance end up in a poor country like afghanistan and so that started the investigation where i started to realize that systematically anything that was banned or heavily regulated or restricted to iran registered in the us was being allowed by the us government and in fact encouraged to be sent overseas almost as compensation for

the companies for losing the us market. pesticides are pushed on grounds that it's a very modern way to do. i remember. is a goal reading a book that india is on to develop because it doesn't use pesticides and we've made poisons the measure of progress and catalytic don't need this it's called god some countries. it is so beautiful. it has some of the best health indicators in the world hundred percent literacy on the go and pray course and.

you know. she actually got us into the world of. the issue of perception categories are uniquely us the first response in our first impact of a percent is on animals. we have the disappearing of the dogs doing the chickens dying snakes dying in the in the in the planet's media. initially the people who are really happy because the snakes are dying the cause of dying so the nobody will know your color will come and catch you if you can so you're happy you can walk in the plantation freely because all the snakes are gone but in a year's time they found that the chicken is also disappearing. to your spine time

they found that they can no longer keep dogs because the dogs again. suddenly you have the backs of disagree on human beings and when the impact became physically human beings like. the what we call the brain in the man and the soul and. people born without limbs seven cases people born with and then there are things outside the body you named the human disorder which can happen to a body you see in constable and. then be active and then and then to understand the issue of. this is that and find the local community and generally they were not to turn a man off in fact it's best if they can pass it in less than there is no source of other source of pollution in that area. so we would also not be sure whatever we discuss debate. and then slowly started collecting the information they said only that now these things can happen. probably the signs and symptoms was.

really early ninety's like ninety one ninety two ninety three that's going to be here by someone it was a. child born with something but we see a lot of new ones born with you know docs who can fix the child is not exposed but the patterns are exposed and the children are born with the former that is happening today. in the cashew plantations of india dr and his mobile medical team visit survivors of one of the worst pesticide disasters in the world. the. transition here or full of cases here also is sort of scraped by the end of. this. and he didn't move.

and i look i've you know shattered. a little online and you know. anyone that. just faded i mean i. actually i'm going. every day with. then the young one. after but the fans noticed that. not having not all the little man might make storms like an ending all of that some mean some activities. solo they've done some dope and they've missed us he's having sort of us. all dead but i think. that is going to get. more but. then.

in. that. way. if. he can do that we. as often all we have played doesn't mandate it in distributors. it could be added to possibly have an addition we have already here do we have addition a bit but it could use oh for the convience if we beat mint this may be a city but a nice but we've got out and that you want to be having to simulate it get him to fix it in the end did you know we just wanted to have morning doesn't make a nomination.

and you know. what. i'm not in the. meeting and i don't want to. live in that i'm going to. see you as an absolute the nominee said before they expose the fantasy. hold which you know she's been in. this unit and she. is the most liberal. she was a six six years she was studying the second standard and she was running behind and itself it's just that she was twenty she was learning behind that he could see

if she has this much before we did this much problems in the table she was not i would have. shows that she was not meant that that then she was absolutely normal she was able to handle difficult. then after spain see this collapse and became an. issue there. said he would be governor let me come up ok and. say ok we're.

going to see. this is the son of this time. his name is obsessed he's suffering for a lot of us. it's also the national these headers of the list will be s. and they're going to all of a spectacle. of some kind living in cuba and. you perceive the u.s. government as one who does for the corporate standing firm be demanding seventy two in the u.s. abandons to distill the used to the next will be to africa asia even after fifty years they're doing the same the it is very unfortunate.

for gas dropped from grain redirected pray for and gas bombs but good enemy great it would gas against your community there is no report there are planning. before world war two there wasn't widespread use of pesticides there was reliance on some of the drugs but during and after world war two when companies began to develop these chemistries for war they were looking for new markets for the same chemicals and so turned to food in agriculture after war and things like organophosphates which. where nerve poisons when then pushed into agriculture many of them are still used mites might spread and.

without war we would never pass decides that's maybe that's an irony maybe maybe not but one way or another way this is what we ended up with in the early seventy's it was clear we had problems health problems environmental problems we've never experienced before thanks to pesticides that's when the u.s. government in the act of fifty one provision of which allowed to continue production and manufacturing of pesticides that were not permitted for use here to be exported overseas that set up the whole regulatory loophole that created this allowed the circle poison to come true. limited data from the e.p.a. in twenty thirteen revealed that banned restricted an unregistered pesticides a manufactured in twenty three states to export only the e.p.a. doesn't track the volume or final destination of these pesticides which are then applied to crops like coffee tea cotton fruit and vegetables and may indeed be

imported back to the u.s. as pesticide residues on these foods the f.d.a. only inspects two percent of imported produce so the true risk to the u.s. consumer is unknown there's a contradiction here because i think when you look at nuclear technology we're very careful in how we export that technology but you know i think one of the major concerns we've got to admit is that where we worry that an abuse of that technology or misuse of that technology will come back to her the united states in some way or another we need to have that same attitude with pesticides. you know when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done it's been a giant terrible tragic experiment it goes way beyond past decides to especially as lead paint flame retardants to all kinds of products drugs pharmaceuticals that

were not properly studied and cleared for safety before we turned them into products all those products and all that export and all the damage that's been done for decades the first politician that really took notice of this was president jimmy carter when i was gay regular leave office had exhausted by effort to get congress to pass it but we had all the material to show that we were doing stuff and it was basically unscrupulous or illegal or international law but the manufacturers of these dangerous materials and i don't wish for so paul. that they obstructed what i did so they were they i could do with issued an executive order as a last resort and it precluded the distribution or sale of any material basically overseas that we couldn't safely present to consumers in america i wanted the brand made in america to me to mean something.

that i left office they descended over from president reagan while reagan and he agreed. to protect their right to continue selling. pesticides and clothing and on prove or disprove drugs or condemned items to people overseas to sort of manufacture to get rid of it and not to be glossed. over thirty years after i left the white house the issue is still unresolved and i would say at this point.
