Silent Spring Revisited Pesticide Use And Endangered Species

More than 2 billion pounds of pesticides are sold each year in the U.S. for agricultural, commercial, & home uses. The EPA has registered more than 18,000 pesticides, but even these are not always safe. The EPA's regulatory oversight of the pesticide industry is abysmal. When confronted with credible studies on the adverse impacts of pesticides, the EPA has consistently responded by attempting to diminish the findings in any way it can.
