what we don't need low prices. i don't care how for more than 50 years public, i has monitored swift companies and developing nations. and it published a map in 2020, detailing the global activities of all 3 syngenta via and b a. s. if marcia, to proceed, say nashik x, the pesticide market is very lucrative, with annual sales and the 10s of billions equipped with dani. it's also highly secretive phone. hardly any sales figures are publicly available that the 2 companies have always managed to hide behind those notorious business secrets and keep their data confidential. yes, this map was actually the 1st time we managed to publish a complete her to back and forth. bless. this is expressing the numbers of
12:10 pm
dizzying in 2018. the 3 european companies sold more than 80000 tons of pesticides containing substances banned in european fields. 90 percent upper juiced in the united kingdom, italy, the netherlands, germany, france, belgium, and spain. as yet god, they've all got his own them. it is really 3rd of pesticides sold in 2018 were highly dangerous. dr. carson, a genic, hocksey to bees, or with hormone disrupting a fax, you fill 40 dangerous substances that are banned from our fields were authorized for export that year with up with a total volume of more than 80000 tons could have got cooling. that's not insignificant. him that's huge, this in message is this hypocrisy or cynicism. the e used double standard has found 1st all ground in brazil,

warehouses belong to preserves largest agro chemical companies. supposin is the leader and pesticides use him at a grocer, but the area also has an unusually high suicide rate and is known as the capital of depression. professor marcia mountain ari, a nutritionist has an appointment at the andre antonio menchie school, named after the brazilian soybean tycoon, who financed the construction of the school are going to the pro 5 all 5 kiana fall, a provider on the staff knows the professor well she's been analyzing the town's tap water for 60 years, growing more so that more than a 1000 school children drink every day of the week. according to brazilian law residues of 27 pesticides are allowed and drinking water that marcia monta, mary, has found others. ellen lewis vince said to his
12:13 pm
in addition to the 27 pesticides that are allowed by like drinking water for thaddeus. but we are also looking for the pesticides used most often in much grosso . i was advert came up with alternate with our drinking district. thought that, but how do we monitor the wells and sub he's all actually and we found pesticide residues in every 2nd. well below the ground water level. one put arms up, it isn't the wells where schools get their drinking water and use pretty suffices. it's closer called grams, went on metallic law. we mainly found metal lug floor and not resin a. we even found them in rain water and i was sure with amazing, she in call to talk to see him as a herbicides which has been banned in europe since 2003 metabolic law is classified by the u as a probable carcinogen. who's he has with battles?
12:14 pm
yes, the results of marcia study will show canada is that all of us who work at the school were disturbed with but the agricultural thank to can continue doing business as usual. hila so well, why would they glosson off with the nova side, but nothing has been done to protect the water, whether or not no, no change? no, no, yes i've not that i know of. brick if that would only happen if we stopped using pesticides. but this is an agricultural region my people's livelihoods depend on it . ah, it's important, economically speaking, and it's in the hands of aqua business of attitudes when change no go ahead. as is the fed down, can tell that the local administration is focused on agro industry. it's a very sensitive issue for the people and for officials here that
12:15 pm
we asked corporate pharmacists up is out for an interview, but the corporations who stored silos mock the landscape declined. al, requests that we did get a response from scary o t. a family business founded in 2008, one of the managers, claudio scott realty, is also the cities deputy mayor. after some initial hesitation, he agreed to give us a tour, which he assured us compliance with the old environmental regulations project. if i store them our parking process, we do everything we can to protect the environment in our rivers. the water is so clear that you can see the bottom at a depth of 10 meters. luda. why? 14? because you can't grow anything on the river. bank of water navita those areas are under permanent protection update. this is so i guess we producers have to make
12:16 pm
sure pesticides are never used near the bank was think they call c sec. that's why our waters are so clean. navita's was use, police got lost as i was sold in the past. leap was the silos. scary ot alternates between growing corn and soybeans. says will. so you can film here tomorrow. this is corner of the silo. still contained the last tons waiting to be sold. claudio scarcity uses any available pesticide to grow approaches. do you use actresses for the corn? from arden actress eine athena ultra xen. yes. or still alger the. so harvest that you have to get the soil ready for the corn was use and the thought is that really necessary and necessary? yes, we used to use more actors in them. woocommerce, we use less now as them was on the winds. why i will suffice. we mix after scene
12:17 pm
with life saves aba marquise. we use only half the amount to day and achieve the same effect gentlemen with faith, but next year in those i think we will have problems. wonderful. these because glad the site can't be delivered at the moment, is her good end to produce to replace the glycol sakes, the farm is considering using a comparable herbicide called power clot, which is highly controversial. knows that there would also more flush come in so far. we've really not used it up our cheese. one could be c, fault, old levels out. but if we run out of life said next year we'll have to i t j lemetre full. i to be nice applica solace part quite quickly. palletized under keys will suit. you've and depending on the wind and weather, it can destroy crops on neighboring fields. what a disease is it prohibited with? yes. what is that a problem for you? there might ilia, it's still being disgusted. they're wanting to just yesterday,
12:18 pm
there was another debate here. no, i didn't understand everything being kick is but of para caught his band and we don't have any more life assayed. what should we use up the kick in those all mussa? i mean, she had, people appeared to have realised that a ban is inevitable. and now there are enormous stocks of the substance being haunted in brazil. my army does. so now as the and a challenge is planning the sale of these stocks as well. water bottles only do with it. stocks its own p fuzzy across the subsides laws only appear to be suggestions of farmers, grace pesticides on the side of the road. breaking laws about the proper application of pace to science and on some of the key, i'm an g. look there spring less than 50 meters from the road. he says, thank bob, you're not allowed to plant soy, so close to the road. that is, and certainly not to spray there. how much more spot? very dangerous for people's health. all the visa sunnyside, when
12:19 pm
we continued our journey, suddenly there was a plane flying low over sleeping field. it's sprayed, a yellow substance, a further infraction this time against ariel sprang regulations. first, he didn't stutter spray. we kept the windows closed the film from inside the car to protect ourselves from the toxic missed aircraft sprang. pesticides are legally required to cease spraying whenever flying. other roads are populated. areas was wooded and he flew over the street without checking whether any one was passing underneath have any business, but we saw that motorcyclists practically drove through the spray either from each for people on these roads or working these fields. this creates a big health risks with the best of luck that ignores brazilian
12:20 pm
law and to pursue it even shows contempt for the law. sb i'm just cause polish lost so they have it as a theory and it's happening because there's no one trying to detect. and stop such violations from happening. what else? i can supposin claudio scary o t has changed his mind since we 1st spoke to him. you, i regret having let you film even if it wasn't much needed resources. why? what could we do with that to look? i only gave you a few harmless bits of information about how things are run around here. as for the technical things as my, i can't say much in west,
12:21 pm
but as you have one more question about the water, do you know the results of the water quality studies here? so this will move to the you can see that the water is clean usual way and that go down to the rio joanna, just around the corner slope loop from all. you'll see it's crystal clear, no pollution, no residue. oh mother, there's no need to take samples because it's obvious that the water is clean, but no one is. is that still a leap on it? do you drink tap water? of course it's clean, but it? philly. claudio scenario to statement suggests that's farming has no impact on the water quality and stuff as well. but marcia, montana is analysis tells a very different story. she found 40 different pesticides in 56 percent of the rainwater samples and 83 percent of the 10 or samples
12:22 pm
ah the water contamination isn't limits. it's a rural areas. the megacity of cell powerless also affect it has a metro area population of more than 20000000 or about 110th of the brazilian population. on the on ragna, as an investigative journalist, covering the agribusiness industry, la honked the letter from public eyes suggested she look into the quality of tackles and brazilian cities. hi, miss saw see it all started with a call from le off as who told me they wanted to study pesticides, but he asked me if i drink tap water that i was a bit surprised by the question. but then he told me that our tap water is
12:23 pm
contaminated with pesticides and out of funds that they went up to them was when the could be a little off school that rattled me because i was pregnant at the time versus bad now. so i stopped drinking filtered water and started buying bottled water eve. and i of course, agree to work with la i've and started researching the problem. i felt on my end as were alco ah, run your just public information to create a matter drinking was determination in brazil starting with the state of south polo and its capital blue ball in south o my home town. the 1st thing that caught my eye was at rosina is asia, it's detectable in the cities tap water. and the data collected between 20142017 showed that of the 27 pesticides studied door all were found and sal polosa,
12:24 pm
tap water political jasmine with some of these 27 pesticides 19 are banned. in the u. sal paolo's, tap water would be considered undrinkable. in europe. around your published her research in 2018. it showed the tap water is contaminated in every 2nd brazilian city. the news sparked media firestorm, but little lasting change. it gave us they she allowed mom you to me this is really worrying. i'm guessing that once again i had that feeling which has troubled me since the beginning of my career as a journalist in brazil, i had a dive. you expose a serious problem, but then that doesn't lead to a public discussion. as have been all see says the said he got
12:25 pm
a big response. so over half a 1000000 viewers visited our website and my as you name me, loans you visit those over 400 media outlets covered the topic, contacted us and reported on the situation on a regional level and other cities. the only thought that was yes, that was really good. but then afterwards, the debate just dissipated and celine, to suck i school some more. healy, a couple pair of quiet and utter xen, of the most frequently used pesticides. both are also produced by syngenta, and both substances are used in matter. grossman, the 2 herbicides were developed in switzerland, in the 1960s, and were popular by the end of the 20th century. despite the negative reputation. the you finally banned advertising in 2003, but brazil hasn't. that has incident one been examined as an actress. ian is
12:26 pm
a good example of european hypocrisy lately. it was banned in the early 2, thousands in europe because it contaminates the ground water loop at that. i'll come up now, but even now 1520 years later, it's still one of the most commonly detected pesticides in european drinking water . noah said don, at within as an indication disruptor the exit, which means that even in very small quantities, it can disrupt hormone levels and affect the reproductive system stem or clinic though too sophisticated, not heavy or on santibanez. every pesticide included in our investigation is a substance that was used in europe until european authorities took it off the market because of its risks. was a pathetic stance at the the corporate m. the herbicide actress xen, harmful for both our health and the environment, brings back memories of a disaster and basil switzerland. in 1986,
12:27 pm
a file started in the warehouse, the belong to funders, a chemical and pharmaceutical company. but open the door over 2 hours for flames. little basel sky reaching heights of over 50 meters daughter. firefighters needed 20000 cubic meters of water to extinguish the fire. but the water carried the highly toxic chemicals that had been stored in the warehouse in the rhine river, including 400 kilograms of that receipt. lasting contamination was unavoidable, and the people both were angry and frustrated. i am behind it. why are you defending yourself? oh, why don't you just apologize? ah, and the public pressure sundance, which would later become novartis from which syngenta would emerge, had to relocate its production to the united states. the company been sold at
12:28 pm
present in europe for another 16 years. ah. ah, just like actress zane the use of power quite is also forbidden in the youth, but not its production power quite as manufactured in england. in 2018, it made up one 3rd of the volume of substances. the e u has banned for years. but still cynically exports to the rest of the world. a backward cit, analysis era kwan is an extremely toxic herbicide that was developed in the 1960 area today. so it's been on the market for almost 60 years. you see this of mac, this herbicide is so toxic that swallowing just one teaspoon is fatal sorted. a korea cafe, a cit, every year. this herbicide poisons thousands of farmers in developing countries, which i can only be who use it without proper protective gear. and in hail it or
12:29 pm
their skin comes into contact with that, not under put view. so i suppose you have our lepeu ah, but power quite is still approved for use in some countries. understanding how these products assist and sold can help explain the discrepancy. pesticides are reviewed by local agencies around the in europe. that agency is the european food safety authority, or e f. s h a ha, ha, design valued as you in europe, we have a regulatory agencies that have enough experts and resources to at the very least read the files, se martinez, cassandra. and you can imagine what it's like in countries that don't have the resources to do their own risk assessment is in developing countries. there's an average of 3 people for that. and in sound there's no one at all 0 with what
12:30 pm
doesn't. it's gonna be on the ball on the zip with what the sun key. so keep that 0 to 3 people who are tasked with assessing the risks of pesticide and approving or disapproving the use of certain substances in their country or in europe. in, in the e. u and the u. s. there are 100 to 300 doing the same thing in men and even then evaluation is difficult because the data is supplied by the industry. so funny, honestly, the manufacturers of pesticides are often both judge and jury, as well as scientific experts who study the potential toxicity of the pesticides and submit their evaluations to the agencies. geraldine to time is the former director of a european agricultural trade association. she says this insular system isn't programmatic rel sheely donation for me, the follows companies provide the data and a then de la glass, you duvall pleasant. this is it. you direct client to do so by law we have to
12:31 pm
sharon studies with the agencies don't. each garcia has thousands of pages and callback yeah. but i don't think the agencies lack the capacity to evaluate them on the ian. these are to redo the venetian if i'm orlando longmont deformities, if it, if that's the sectors main argument. it's another thing that passed sides are heavily regulated. so there can't be any problems in iowa is select, but that's where the big lie comes in. i think of it to sustain the value, sundays it is, the pesticide risks are determined according to studies. the industry carried out on their own products, confidentially. some can feel sensitive, kaboom why an independent entity can't check the data given to the regulator, says q prism, the only data countable and each time studies have been made public good following accord investigation in the us in many or by regulators. for example, in decision we're under contradictions and false claims have been found. thank you, doctor will include the new one that come with them. shock for when that was that
12:32 pm
did, is it a good idea? the 4th one, particularly troubling story, was made public by whistleblower, who is a long time syngenta employee john hailing says the government agencies would received for over 60 years. the toxicologist claims i. c, i, a british chemical company, falsified data on power quite. i see eyes pharmaceutical division eventually became astrazeneca, then combined its agricultural business with that of pharmaceutical rival, nevada's forming, the world's largest agricultural company. syngenta headings was high to 1986 to make per quad less dangerous. perm quote actually is probably the, the most deadly pesticide which has ever been made, you know, and there are some nasty pesticides out there. power quarters absorbed from the gut, very quickly, you know, after drinking within one hour,
12:33 pm
you have the highest blood level. so we then thought if you can remove the power cord from the stomach, this would be a good approach. so i already knew that there was a an emetic agent in the formulation. so i thought, well, there's already a metric in there. why doesn't the emetic remove the jail in the stomach? you know, is this something wrong with the dose of the emetic or the concentration? john hailing went back to the 1st studies carried out in 1977. they showed that even at high doses and emetic a substance that causes vomiting would not take effect for 2 hours too late. because ingestion leads to death within an hour, syngenta had falsified the findings in the official report. it had replaced some of the vomiting data from the clinical trial, with other data from other patient trials,
12:34 pm
and totally ignored the fact that the dose level that they were recommending that she didn't work in humans. so and i was quite some astounded yet when john hailing alerted his managers, they said to me that this would be very, very damaging for the reputation of not just the central toxicology laboratory, but the company as a whole. and because i had discovered a new formulation with a high emetic, maybe this would solve it. but 9 years later, he was to learn the truth. the more effective for me or that john hailing said found was never used. he found out in 1995 when parkway was being reviewed as required and you law and he checked the file supplied by the company. and when i looked through this, i thought on a minute,
12:35 pm
this still has the original fabricated data. and that is incorrect. and it's citing the same report which was written in 1977, which is incorrect. so i gave a detailed and probably 2 or 3 page response to agra, chemicals saying you cannot use this, didn't you know that there was a problem? nothing. i had nothing back, almost like nothing had happened. but in the a used. in 1995, they used the false data for re registration and kept us on the market for another 10 years, with hundreds of people poisoned across europe before they bond it. why you coding to you? why haven't the chance the level of it many? well, there's a very good reason and it's cold money. the cost of doing that was so prohibitive that they said this would destroy the group of profits. i,
12:36 pm
i see i grouped for power caught it wasn't until 2007 that the european union band park, right. following a transitional period. brazil banded in 2020, but it's still available in the us, india, and south africa, according to estimates by a toxicologist at the university of edinburgh park. what has now killed almost 10000 people. the if they say, the european chemical watchdog declined to be interviewed. ah, back to brazil to sierra and the ne, in the early 2 thousands, the fruit industry came to the limo. yellow dunno to region. villages was soon surrounded by banana fields, including tommy, from 2500. the consequences with devastating aircraft spray pesticides, the air, leaving residents helpless against the toxic chemicals. in
12:37 pm
2008 z, maria thomas decided to find the iliad sprain. he quickly became a media fixture. ok, well, all the way to feather. now this is a tough fight and we are caught in it's crossfire and they bought the agricultural industry in this region has shown us no understanding. i just want to pocket the profits. so we've, i bought it ah, 0, it is no. all the planes were not allowed to spray within 200 meters of the village channel. but they flew right over us your best while people found the white trailing streaks, beautiful, and ran outside to look at them. i myself, i am
12:38 pm
a part of the wealthy always illness. i had 150 chickens in my garden to go and 80 of them died in one day of your bed. the plane flew by miss the chickens began to stagger e and then they died like that yet they so i would say, maria once said in 10 years i may not be alive risk, but you will see people getting cancer. asked children being born with birth defects will say and terrible diseases because we have no protection against the aqua talks in your spare and what thinks it was only a wardrobe box would come from that same area to me was right. 2 years later, he was cute, shot by the side of the road. the assailant was arrested, but the person who allegedly hired him alive, sca lender was acquitted. just as a mother see it, the frequency of serious illness has risen. the cancer ate is almost 40 percent
12:39 pm
higher, according to a local study other punish as a medical researcher at the university of sierra, she has found her own way to continue the fights with his bowman shop boys after environmental activists say, maria de until may was murdered. in 2010 people will really afraid to give interviews. so i changed it took a lot of patience and an intense dialogue with local residents. they so called marta though it is my daughter's back when when he died. ah ah.
