CONTAMINATING THE ATMOSPHERE
Scientists at the National Vegetable Research Station in England have discovered traces of insecticides, including DDT and dieldrin in rainwater, reports the August l London Observer. This points to contamination of the atmosphere, probably through evaporation of the poisons during spraying or from deposits now covering vast areas of soil surfaces.
The discovery may account for the presence of DDT recently > noted in the fat and liver of Antarctic seals and penguins, "Air currents could carry insecticide vapours over the globe quite quickly." The worst danger is the concentration of insecticides at the end of a food chain. Several species of birds are nearing extinction due to this. Now it would appear that the food chains in the oceans are similarly vulnerable.
