Quick Poison, Slow Poison - Pesticide Risk in the Lucky Country

Product Information

After 6 years of research, Kate describes the results of her exhaustive study of pesticides and their devastating impact on people’s lives in Australia into public view. The book describes the facts about pesticide risk in a clear and concise manner, backing it up with authoritative studies and references. Concern about termites and potential crop losses from insect attack are weighed against the trauma suffered by the increasing number of people exposed to pesticides through food, air and water contamination. Through a variety of case studies, Kate presents the human face of the pesticide risk equation and reveals what has often been a litany of corporate deceit and government inaction.
