In 1993 the Indonesian government banned the use of DDT. However, what he does not want for home, he gives to the neighbor. In fact, he gave 100 tons of DDT to Nepal. On this occasion, in addition, the World Health Organization, the main responsible for global health, will pay for the transport of DDT. A very special way to care for the health of Nepal!

Although DDT will be used to control the anofele mosquito that contaminates malaria, in this case you can apply what the ancient saying says: bread today, hunger tomorrow. DDT is toxic to animals and people, accumulates in the body and remains in the environment for about twenty years without degrading. (News from Panos.)
