A native of a Pennsylvania College for Women graduate, Carson published “Silent Spring” in

19、 1962, a work that launched the modern environmental movement and led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the passage of our major environmental laws.However, there has been a puzzling and troubling trend in recent years: an attack on her theory by conservatives a

20、nd the agrochemical (农用化学品) industry. For example, Rush Limbaugh gave the following quiz: “Who caused more deaths: Adolf Hitler or RachelCarson?” Limbaughs answer was Carson, due to the approximately 100 million deaths from malaria (疟疾) since 1972, the year in which the pesticide (杀虫剂）DDT was banned

22、 1962, and the global pesticide industry currently uses over 2.5 million tons of pesticides each year. Even DDT is still used abroad. Myth 2: Pesticides are safe.

Our homes have pesticide concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than outdoo

25、rs.So, if Carson were with us today, still battling the agrochemical industry that spent millions of dollars, what would she be advocating? I feel confident that she would be a strong supporter of a new principle of chemical assessment. Simply put, this principle requires producers of pesticides to

26、prove that they are safe and necessary before they are put on the market. Our current system puts the burden of proof on government and scientists to prove that a pesticide is dangerous and poses an “unacceptable risk” before it can be pulled from the market. 57.Limbaugh attacked Carson because he t
