...legally marketed while being officially banned? One answer lies in legislative terminology: "cancellation" only starts a review process, which manufacturers can prolong for years while sales continue. Too, the Agriculture Department is mired in a seeming conflict of interest. Charged with regulating most uses of DDT, the department also urges farmers to use it to increase crop yields...
