Why endosulfan still in use in india: Ban it please....



Endosulfan,a chemical pesticide is creating lot of debates among political parties in india.This dangerous toxin which is banned in more than 63 countries is still creating rashes among many poor working men hearts in india.Why a ban is not possible for the killer toxin ?
Endosulfan a organochlorine compound which is baned in kerala(indian state) is still in used in areas of kasargodu.It is mainly used as a pesticide in mango & cashew plantations.The sufferers were the poor workers of these plantations.New borns of these families are suffering from inborn errors which is more drastic than adult sufferers.
Is this toxin needed for our people ? Why such delay in baning ?

DiBoFoES is discusing about endosulfan in this post.

Many scientific studies had proved that endosulfan is a potent toxin.This toxin can affect human reproductive ability.It is also reported it can also cause cancer.In addition to this major problems several minor skin rashes is common in applied areas.

Do we need this troublesome chemical ?. why can't we replace with some biopesticides ?.

This is request to the governing bodies.Please ban endosulfan before taking more lives....
