a dizzying in 2018. the 3 european companies sold more than 80000 tons of pesticides containing substances banned in european fields. 90 percent are produced in the united kingdom, italy, the netherlands, germany, france, belgium, and spain. as yet god, they've all got his old dominion. a 3rd of pesticides sold in 2018 were highly dangerous. doctor carson, a genic hocksey to bees, or with hormone disrupting a fax, he said he fell. 40 dangerous substances that are banned from our fields were authorized for export that year with up with a total volume of more than $80000.00 tons could have got to. i mean, that's not insignificant him, that's huge. this in message is this hypocrisy or cynicism. the e used double stand. it has found 1st all ground in brazil.

11:14 pm
if marcia study will showcase it, obviously all of us who work at the school were disturbed by the agricultural thank to can continue doing business as usual. he last summer. why when it was not with northside, but nothing has been done to protect the water? what is? oh no, no, no change. no, no. yes, i have not that i know of. push it, that would only happen if we start 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 won't change. okay. has, 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. the whole money that

11:16 pm
have to make sure pesticides are never used near the bank was think the school sea sick. that's why our waters are so clean. navita's was of use but he's got losses. i was so unique was leave us the silos. scary ot alternates between growing corn and soybeans says well, so you can film here who my, this is corn the silo still contained the last tons waiting to be sold. claudio scarcity uses any available pesticide to grow approaches. do you use actress in for the choir? for martin actress eine athena ultra xen. yes. what's the average of the soil harvest that you have to get the soil ready for the corn was use and the thought is that really necessary? and this is that, yes, we used to use more actors in them woocommerce,
11:17 pm
we use less now nist and was on the men's why i will suffice. we mix actresses with life saves aba marquise. we use only half the amount to day and achieve the same effect, single me my faith. but next year in those i think we will have problems. wonderful is because glad to say it 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 quote, which is highly controversial. nor is there what'll jermel blush come in so far. we've really not used it off my cheese. one can be see, fault old levels out, but if we run out of life said next year we'll have to i t m we to full i to be nice applica solace part quite quickly. palletized under keith will soon which of, and depending on the wind and weather can destroy crops on neighboring fields. what of the disease is it prohibited with? yes. what is that a problem for you? there? my only at the,
11:18 pm
it's still being disgusted there wanting to just yesterday there was another debate here. no, i didn't understand everything being kick as part of paris caught his band and we don't have any more life essays. what should we use up the kick in those all mussa? i mean, she had, people appeared to have realized that a ban is inevitable. and now there are enormous stinks of the substance being haunted in brazil. i mean, does this. 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 a substitute ah, the controversial pesticides will continue to be used for the time being. and few questions will be asked in this kingdom of soybeans and pesticides. laws only appear to be suggestions. a farmer's grace pesticides on the side of the road. breaking laws about the proper application of to science ah, was a thumbs, a key, a man's g. look, there is spring less than 50 meters from the road. he says, a maple on top, you're not allowed to plant soil so close to the road,
11:19 pm
varies and certainly not to spray there. how many must pardon? very dangerous for people's halvenetz all the v for sunnyside, even when we continued our journey, suddenly there was a plane flying low over sleeping field. it sprayed a yellow substance further infraction this time against ariel sprang regulations. first, he didn't stop 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 wounded and he flew over the street without checking whether any one was passing underneath. this was what we saw that motorcyclists practically drove
11:20 pm
through the spray. either. i mean for people on these roads or working these fields, this creates a big health risk. now how do this before i go with the, the specialist that ignores brazilian law to protect it even shows contempt for the law. sb i'm just cause punish loathsome laboratory and it's happening because there's no one trying to detect and stop such violations from happening. boise as as how soon ah, if i can supposin claudio scary o t has changed his mind since we 1st spoke to him. it was just, i regret having let you film us even if it wasn't much yet, if we will see why,
11:21 pm
what could we do with that too? but i look, i only gave you a few harmless bits of information about how things are run around here. as for the technical things, it's my, i can't say much in west, 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 when that go down to the rio joanna, just around the corner smoke from all you'll see it's crystal clear, no pollution, no residue, no mother, there's no need to take samples because it's obvious that the water is clean bonaza no one is that still a leap on it? do you drink? tap water up? of course it's clean, but it was 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
11:22 pm
a very different story. she found 40 different pesticides in 56 percent of the rain water samples, and 83 percent of the 10 percent. ah, the walls are contamination isn't limits, it's a rural areas. the megacity of cell power was also affected. it has a metro area population of more than 20000000, or about 110th of the brazilian population. and run yet as an investigative journalist, covering the ag, this industry long to hide from public eyes suggested she looked into the quality of tackles and brazilian cities.
11:23 pm
when i saw see it all started with a call from la offers who told me they wanted to study pesticides, but he asked me if i drink tap water. that when i was a bit surprised by the question, but then he told me that our tap water is contaminated with pesticides and out the ones that they went up to them was then could be a lot of school that rattled me because i was pregnant at the time versus bader 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, this black ah, run your just public information to create a mental string to was determination in brazil, starting with the state of south polo and its capital blue. o in south o my home town. the 1st thing that caught my eye was at rosina. it's detectable in
11:24 pm
the city's tap water. and the data collected between 20142017 showed that of the 27 pesticides studied door all were found and sell powerless 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 gave us those. she allowed mom you to me, this is really worrying on guesses as a once again i had that feeling which has troubled me since the beginning of my
11:25 pm
career as a journalist in brazil, abdulla had a dodge, you expose a serious problem, but then that doesn't lead to a public discussion, as i've been on the 5th, the said he got 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 silly to suck. i school some moy, a couple pair of quiet and utter xen are the most frequently used. pesticides. both are also produced by syngenta and both substances a used in matter. grossman, the 2 herbicides were developed in switzerland, in the 1960s,
11:26 pm
and were popular by the end of the 20th century despite the negative reputation. the u finally banned at rising in 2003. but brazil hasn't. that has incident warm been examined as an actress in as a good example of european hypocrisy late dear. 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 collector to sufficiency. not heavy err 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.
11:27 pm
the herbicide actress xen, harmful for both our health and the environment, brings back memories of a disaster and basil switzerland. in 1986, a file started in the warehouse, the blonde, to thunders, a chemical and pharmaceutical company. but open the door over 2 hours for flames. little puzzle. sky reaching heights of over 50 meters if the 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 the time. why are you defending yourself home? why don't you just apologize?
11:28 pm
i am the public precious sundance, which would later become nevada's from which syngenta would emerge, had to relocate its production to the united states. the company then sold at 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 of 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,
11:29 pm
korea, cathy, 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 their skin comes into contact with that, not under put view. so i suppose you have our lepeu ah, but park what is still approved for use in some countries. understanding how these products are assessed 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, if s h a ha, is actually gonna assume in europe we have a regulatory agencies that have enough experts and resources to at the very least read the files to see my, his,
11:30 pm
cassandra. but 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 doesn't the soonest available on the zip with watson, he's so cute 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 york been 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, but honestly the manufacturers of pesticides 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 through time is the former director of a european agricultural trade association. she says this insular system isn't programmatic rel sheely donation
11:31 pm
for follows. companies provide the data and then do i think less you duvall pleasant. this is it you direct client to do so by law we have to sharon studies with the agencies don't. each garcia has thousands of pages in quebec yet, but i don't think the agencies lack the capacity to evaluate them on the diesel to redo the van. yes, sure. if i'm orlando longmont deformities, if, if that's the sectors main argument, it's another thing that pesticides are heavily regulated. so there can't be any problems in iowa is still i, but that's where the big lie comes in. i think of it to sustain the value. i sundays the be the pesticide risks are determined according to studies. the industry carried out on their own products, confidentially, and feel sense that if we're an independent entity can't check the data given to the regulator, says q prism, the only other countable and each time studies have been made public good following
11:32 pm
afford investigation in the u. s. in many or by regulators, for example, indecision, one contradictions and false claims have been found. they could at $33.00, be new one and come at them shack for when that was that did. is it a good idea? the 4th one, particularly troubling story, was made public by whistleblower who was a long time syngenta employee john hailing says the government agencies were 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. it's every cultural business would 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,
11:33 pm
the most deadly pesticide which has ever been made in a and there are some nasty pesticides out there. power court is absorbed from the gut very quickly, you know, after drinking within one hour, 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 gel in the stomach? you know, is this something wrong with the dose of the emetic or the concentration? john healings 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
11:34 pm
the vomiting data and from the clinical trial, with other data from other patient trials 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 helen's 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 that john hailing had found was never used. he found out in 1995 when power quote was being reviewed as
11:35 pm
required and the law. and he checked the file supplied by the company. and when i looked through this, i thought i'm on a minute. 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 e. u. the 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 this
11:36 pm
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 with profits i. i see i group for park what it wasn't until 2007 that the european union band park was following a transitional period. brazil bandit in 2020, but it's still available in the u. s. india and south africa, according to estimates by a toxicologist at the university of edinburgh per quite has now killed almost $10000.00 people. the if they say the european chemical watchdog declined to be interviewed ah, back to brazil to sierra the ne, in the early 2 thousands, the fruit industry came to the little yellow. dunno to region. villages was soon surrounded by banana fields, including tommy,
11:37 pm
from 2500 the consequences with devastating aircraft spray pesticides near leaving residents helpless against the toxic chemicals. in 2008 z, maria thomas decided to find the illegal sprain. he quickly became a media fixture. okay, well all the way to fact that this is a tough fight and we are caught and it's crossfire and i 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, savio, it is no. all the planes were not allowed to spray within the 200 meters of the
11:38 pm
village channel. but they flew right over us. your best people found the white trailing streaks, beautiful, and ran outside to look at them. i bespoke by you before to buy the wife he always illness. i had 150 chickens in my garden, and 80 of them died in one day on the field behind the plane flew by miss 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 was and terrible diseases middle because we have no protection against the aqua talks in your spare. what thinks it was only one folks who come from that same area to me was right. 2 years later, he was killed, shot by the side of the road. the assailant was arrested, but the person who allegedly hired in
11:39 pm
a large scale lender was acquitted. just as a muddy if see it, the frequency of serious illness has risen. the cancer rate is almost 40 percent higher, according to a local study. other publish as a medical researcher at the university of sierra. she has found her own way to continue the fights. but it's bowman shop boys after environmental activists say, maria do 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
