Article Description

1. The actual situation on the field of insecticides and other chemical means of plant treatment often highly poisonous requires a maximum of attention and care: a) Spraying is carried out very often by unqualified labourers. b) Poisonous chemicals may penetrate throughout the plant and remain there as resistant residue which can't be removed by washing. c) As shown on German vintagers who suffered from liver cancer caused by regular consumption of wine produced from wine husks (high arsenic contents from spraying) there is very often a long period (15-20 years) between time of consumption of treated food and time of damage. d) The ordinary consumer is generally forced to buy products offered by the normal trade. Those products may contain more or less high residues of poisonous insecticides or of similar means of plant treatment. 2. Quite a number of significant dates are given in order to show the danger of DDT-, HCH-, Aldrin-, Dieldrin-, Parathion-residues for man and beast. Other dates give rise to the warning that some of those insecticides may cause physiological alterations in the chemical composition of food-plants. 3. The legal possibilities in Germany to stop the misuse of insecticides etc. are described. 4. Cultural methods in farming and horticulture and other measurements to avoid a surplus of poisonous chemicals to control plant pests are discussed. © 1963 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
