| - | "Opposition to [[DDT]] was focused by the [[1962]] publication of [[Rachel Carson]]'s book ''[[Silent Spring]]''. It cataloged environmental impacts that coincided with widespread use of DDT in agriculture in the United States, and it questioned the logic of broadcasting potentially dangerous chemicals into the environment with little prior investigation of their environmental and health effects. The book cited claims that DDT and other pesticides had been shown to cause [[cancer]] and that their agricultural use was a threat to wildlife, particularly birds. Although Carson never directly called for an outright ban on the use of DDT, its publication was a seminal event for the [[Environmentalism|environmental movement]] and resulted in a large public outcry that eventually led, in 1972, to a ban on DDT's agricultural use in the United States."--Sholem Stein | + | "Opposition to [[DDT]] was focused by the [[1962]] publication of [[Rachel Carson]]'s book ''[[Silent Spring]]'' (1962)."--Sholem Stein |
