The Coming Crisis: Siberia's pesticide dumps may prove a bigger hazard than nuclear waste

The Coming Crisis Welcome to Humanity's    ...Final Performance...

Siberia's pesticide dumps may prove a bigger hazard than nuclear waste Dec 26th 2012, 20:00 At Tegul'det (population 3,000), a village in the south-east corner of Tomsk oblast, it takes a lot to upset the residents, busy hunting, fishing and preening their vegetable patches, except during the six long winter months, when their only distraction is cutting holes in the ice on the river and fishing. Nothing really bothers Alexei, a retired FSB (former KGB secret police) major. Not even the mound of earth that looms just next to his home. Yet 20 tonnes of DDT are buried there, between the settlement and the river Chulym. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/nov/27/siberia-pesticides-toxic-waste-pollution
