chemicals in the water. manadis kim can know about i thought some pesticides stay longer in the environment and especially in water worker. i'm one of the scottish because joe, who's ever to fox possessive. so it's an important indicator. thanks man, being which we carefully monitor, though i always cuddled on being found for such doesn't money for somebody with ah, brazil has authorized the use of 3669 different pesticides. the country is a veritable eldorado for chemical companies, especially for european ones. as many products prohibited in the you may be sprayed on brazilian fields. and from the media, they make a 1000000000 selling highly dangerous pesticides, most of which are banned here. attention. ah

an hour, it was elected president of the fitter to public brazil, and october 2080. both an arrow is a form, a paratrooper, and guaranteed free reign to the agricultural industry. almost as soon as he was in power, heads of agribusiness gathered to celebrate his victory and balsam arrow promised them his loyalty. ah no terrible c l. so we put our garbage was there. i'd like to say that i'm at your service about or you are our bosses or we are completely on your side. hold on to fight for you. lost the almost ah, the deforestation of the amazon was accelerated to clear away for even more farming . more than 900000 hecht, his of rain forest went up and smoke in 2019 alone. brazil is overflowing with, by a sides making it an attractive market for multinational chemical companies.
6:08 am
companies like swiss agribusiness giant syngenta as well as germany's b a. s if and bio which acquired it's american rival, monsanto in 2018 the ads to picked an idealised whoop, clean air, healthy food, and away forward towards sustainable agriculture. while leaving out this smoky chemical plants. i think it's really important that agriculture not only feeds the world, but also does it in a way that takes care of our plan. these 3 multinationals alone had over 100000000000 euros in sales in 2019. and a charity based in law son has been keeping an eye on them. ah,
6:09 am
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 detail with global activities of all 3 syngenta via and b a s. if marcia to proceed say are magic x, the pesticide market is very lucrative with annual sales in the 10s of billions, yet crap with dani. it's also highly secretive home. hardly any sales figures are publicly available at the tone. companies have always managed to hide behind those notorious business secrets and keep their data confidential. yes, yes, this map was actually the 1st time we managed to publish a complete record, a back and forth and blitz. this is a full session. the numbers of dizzying in 2018. the 3 european
6:10 am
companies sold more than $80000.00 tons of pesticides containing substances, banned in european fields, 90 percent upper juice in the united kingdom, italy, the netherlands, germany, france, belgium, and spain. oscio. thank 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 a total volume of more than $80000.00 tons could have got to on. 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,
6:11 am
back in march across the landscape. here is monotonous, but it used to be part of a tropical savannah known as the serrado. now it's just endless. soybean and cotton fields. few animals remain mainly just tracked as an airplane sprang. pesticides as they traverse the fields. the e u band aerial crops sprang a long time ago, but brazil has yet to take similar action. blue line. ah, the town except his elbows found it's just 30 years ago as soil corn and cotton burned up. his al sound is the never ending to cost me of trucks,
6:12 am
transport and agricultural products. these huge warehouses belong to brazil's largest agro chemical companies, supposin as the leader and pesticides use them 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 maggi school named after the brazilian soybean tycoon who financed the construction of the school. i rented a private backyard, our power provider on the staff knows the professor well. she's been analyzing the towns tap water for 6 years after 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,
6:13 am
has found others. o l e and losing fair to his 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 abs light came up, but also now we thought washington 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 on the app. it isn't the wells where schools get their drinking water and use pretty suffices. it's classical camps went on with alack law. we mainly found metal lug floor, not resin a. we even found them in rain water and i was sure with amazing. she can't rock at resume is 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 he has the results.
6:14 am
if marcia study will showcase it, obviously, all of us who work at the school were disturbed, but the agricultural sector can continue doing business as usual here last summer. why? when it was not with the north 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 pushy, 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 accurate businesses, of attitudes won't change. okay? as, as 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
6:15 am
we asked corporate pharmacists up is out for an interview, but the corporations who storage silos mock the landscape declined. al, requests that we did get a response from scary o t. a family business founded in 2008. 1 of the manages claudio scott realty, is also the cities deputy man. after some initial hesitation, he agreed to give us a tour, which he assured us, compliance with old environmental regulations, garage and fi stored in my 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 for the food. why? 14? because you can't grow anything on the river bank. well, water navita, those areas are under permanent protections. up the this is so i guess we producers
6:16 am
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 grown corn and soybeans. says for 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. in fact, do use actress in for the choir. martin actress eine athena ultra xen. yes. we're still alger, the. so harvest, you have to get the soil ready for the corn was use and the thought is that really necessary and this is not? yes. we used to use more at resent them. we can,
6:17 am
we use less now as to move on the winds. why i will suffice we mix accuracy with like the same saba mark, which we use only half the amount to day and achieve the same effect. gentleman with faith, but next year in those i think we will have problems. wonderful. that is because glad the site can't be delivered at the moment. he is 2nd only to produce to replace the life of sage, the farmer's considering using a comparable hood, besides cold power quiet, which is highly controversial. laws at their what'll show more brought to come in. and so far we've really not used it up our cheese. one can be see, fault, old liberals out, but if we run out of glad to say next year we'll have to i t, they'll am we to full i to in now's applica solace part quite quickly. palletized under keith with synergy, and depending on the wind and weather, oakley, and destroy crops on neighboring fields, what of the disease? is it prohibited with? yes, it is not a problem for you there. my supervisor ilia,
6:18 am
it's still being disgusted. they're wanting to just yesterday, there was another debate here. no, i didn't understand everything being kick his thought of para caught his band and we don't have any more life. a said home, what should we use to kick in those almonza from our main chip? people appeared to have realised that a band is inevitable. and now there are enormous stinks of this 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. what else will they do with it? stalks is own p. fosdick with us about those if 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 of pharmacy grace pesticides on the side of the road. breaking laws about the proper application of pace to science and all of the key. i'm an g. look there, spring less than 50 meters from the road. he says, a maple on top, you're not allowed to plant soy,
6:19 am
so close to the road varies and certainly not to spray there. how much more spot and very dangerous for people's health. all the visa sunnyside, even for infraction, this time against ariel spraying regulations. first he didn't start spray, we kept the windows closed in films 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 where he flew over the street without checking whether any one was passing underneath company. 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 help with the specialist that ignores brazilian
6:20 am
law to protect. it even shows contempt for the law. sb i'm just cause punish last so mary and it's happening because there's no one trying to detect and stop such violations from happening. would you please? she asked if i can step is out. claudius gary o t has changed his mind since we 1st spoke to him. you just, i regret having let you film us even if it wasn't much, if we will see why, what could we do? we from the up to look, i only gave you a few harmless bits of information about how things are run around here. as for the technical things, this is my, i can't say much in west, but i do have one more question about the water. do you know the results of the
6:21 am
water quality studies here? so this will move to the, you can see that the water is clean usual. we'll go down to the rio joanna, just around the corner. 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 cleaned on. allison owns one. 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 the 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 rain water samples and 83 percent of the tap or samples ah
6:22 am
the water 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. i'm an ragna, as an investigative journalist, covering the agribusiness industry. long down the road from public eyes suggested she look into the quality of tackles, and brazilian cities. coma saw see it all started with a call from an office 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 contaminated with pesticides,
6:23 am
and out of funds that they went up to them was band could be a little dogs that rattled me because i was pregnant at the time versus bader now. so i stopped drinking filtered water and started buying bottled water ease 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 ha, ragna, just public information to create a matter of drinking was contamination. in brazil, starting with the state of south polo and its capital blue ball in south. oh, my home town. the 1st thing that caught my eye was at rosina. it's detectable in 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 of these 27 pesticides 19 are banned in the
6:24 am
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 spark media firestorm, but little lasting change. if they gave us they, 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 career as a journalist in brazil optima. how did that you expose a serious problem, but then that doesn't lead to a public discussion. and then also this, the said he got a big response. so over half a 1000000 viewers visited our website and my as you name me,
6:25 am
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. only thunderbolt was yes, that was really good. but then afterwards, the debate just dissipated, m, selling to soccer school, some boy a couple paris, quite an utter scene of the most frequently used pesticides. both are also produced by syngenta. and both substances are used in matter grocer. the 2 herbicides were developed in switzerland, in the 19 sixties 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 warm, been exhausted atrophy and is
6:26 am
a good example of european hypocrisy late the it was banned in the early 2, thousands in europe because it contaminates the ground water loop that i'll come up . no, but even now 1520 years later, it's still one of the most commonly detected pesticides in european drinking water . no up said dom atrophy in as an indication disruptor. the exit, which means that even in very small quantities, it can disrupt hormone levels and affect the reproductive system similar clinic though. to sophist, is he not heavy or 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 top. mm hm. the herbicide, actually xen harmful for both our health and the environment, brings back memories of a disaster in basel, switzerland, in 1986, a file started in the warehouse, the blonde, to thunders,
6:27 am
a chemical and pharmaceutical company. but open the door over 2 hours for flames. little basel 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 and the rhine river, including 400 kilograms of accuracy, blast, and contamination was unavoidable. and the people at bath were angry and frustrated . i am tired. why are you defending yourself home? why don't you just apologize? i got on the public pressure, sundance, which would later become novartis from which syngenta would emerge, had to relocate his production to the united states. the company been sold at
6:28 am
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 backwards sit on their receipt era. kwan is an extremely toxic herbicide that was developed in the 1960 dia did. erica. so it's been on the market for almost 60 years. you see this of mash, this herbicide is so toxic that swallowing just one teaspoon is fatal. started a korea cafe, a cit, every year. this herbicide poisoned thousands of farmers and developing countries which are getting on people who use it without proper protective gear and inhale it or their skin comes into contact with that. none of you. so i spoke of our lepeu
6:29 am
ah, but are quite as still approved for use in some countries. understanding how these products are 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, if s h a ha, ha, lead us you in europe, we haven't regulatory agencies that have enough experts and resources to at the very least, read the files to see my, his, cassandra. but you can imagine what it's like in countries that don't have the resources to do their own risk assessment. these 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 what the son. he's so cute that
6:30 am
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 european, 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 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 through time is the former director of a european agricultural trade association. she says this insular system isn't programmatic rel sheely donation for ha, follows companies provide the data and then do i guess you duvall pleasant? this is it you direct client to do so by long we have to sharon studies with the
6:31 am
agencies don't. each garcia has thousands of pages a callback year, but i don't think the agencies lack the capacity to evaluate them the diesel to redo the venue, su if i'm orlando longmont deformed o mathias, if it, 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 silly, but that's where the big lie comes in. i think of it to sustain the radio. sundays it is, the pesticide risks are determined according to studies. the industry carried out on their own products, confidentially. don't 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 afford investigation in the us in many or by regulators, for example, decision one, contradictions, and false claims have been found. take you that there will be 3, be new one a come at them. shock for when that was that it is really good until the 4th
6:32 am
one, particularly troubling story, was made public by whistleblower who was 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 havens was hide in 1986 to make her quite less dangerous. perm quote actually is probably the, 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,
6:33 am
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? all the concentration john hailing went back to the 1st study is 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 and from the clinical trial, with other data from other patient trials. and totally ignored the fact that the
6:34 am
dose level that they were recommending that she didn't work in humans. so and i was quite some astounded yet. when john healings 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 formula that john hailing said found was never used. he found out in 1995 when power quote was being reviewed as 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,
6:35 am
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 agree chemicals saying you cannot use this, didn't you know that there was a problem? nothing i had nothing back. oh must like nothing had happened. but in the e. u. in 1995, they used the false data for re registration and kept it 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 imaging? well, there's a very good reason and it's called 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 power caught it wasn't until 2007 that the european union band park what
6:36 am
following a transitional period. brazil banded 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 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 lemme yet to know to reach him. villages was soon surrounded by banana fields, including tommy, from 2500 the consequences with devastating aircraft spray pesticides near leaving residents helpless against the toxic chemicals.
6:37 am
in 2008 z, maria thomas decided to find the iliad sprain. he quickly became a media fixture. ok, well all the way to present this is a tough fight and we are caught and it's crossfire and they bought the agricultural industry in this region has shown us no understanding. they just want to pocket the profit. so we why bought it ah, savio, it is no. all to planes were not allowed to spray within 200 meters of the village . but they flew right over us your best while people found the white trailing streaks, beautiful, and ran outside to look at them. i spoke to you before about the wealthiest illness
6:38 am
. i had 150 chickens in my garden. the girl and 80 of them died in one day bung behind the plane, flew by miss the chickens began to stagger e and then they died like that. yeah, 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 because we have no protection against the aqua talks in your spare. and what thinks it was only a one of our folks would 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 him alive, scale lender was acquitted. just as a mother see it, the frequency of serious illness has risen. the cancer rate is almost 40 percent higher, according to a local study. other punish as
6:39 am
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, do until may was murdered. in 2010 people were 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 you died. ah ah, the sea is the mother of

6:43 am
a small community with about $2500.00 residence above compared to the national level. my malformations are much more common here. that's why we asked us whether there is a link with the pesticides central america to johnson, i suppose. so. all the researchers investigate to the extent to which families were exposed to pesticides before the children were born. the findings are revealing. lucille worked at a school surrounded by fields that was sprayed. painted obviously of our airplanes on blue above the school, spraying pesticides. seizure gouging the fumes penetrated into the building. i can run the children in the classroom complained about the stand. heck, lamazzo, jesse archie in dallas inc, i was anxious via her last. hm had some getting rotations afterwards. what's going?
