| DISHONESTY PRINTED WITH HONESTY | CATALOG OF ARTISTIC PRACTICES AGAINST DECEPTION, GREED AND POWER | PESTICIDES | Europe has banned a long list of pesticides and herbicides after the harmful effect of their use on the environment and human health has been demonstrated. But the multinationals that manufacture them have not stopped producing them. Now they export them to other countries in the world where the legislation is more permissive. The irony is that many agricultural products treated with these chemicals end up on the tables of Europeans. In 2018 alone, European multinationals exported 81,000 tons of banned pesticides. “The health or environmental risks associated with these substances are dramatic: death by inhalation, birth defects, reproductive or hormonal disorders, or cancer. These substances will also contaminate drinking water sources and poison ecosystems ”, underlines a study by the NGO Public Eye.
