You do realize that this document is fiction? "When this case was being written, the United Nations Organization was still considering invoking a worldwide ban on DDT use by the year 2004. The World Health Organization, although part of the UN, was opposed to the proposed ban, and the outcome of the debate over DDT's future was uncertain. On December 10, 2000, an international committee convened by the UN to make a decision on the matter recommended that the use of DDT for the control of malaria be allowed until a more effective solution to the malaria problem is found. Both sides seem to agree that DDT is more effective controlling of malaria than the naturally occurring pyrethroids that have been extensively used as a replacement for DDT. The pyrethroids have an effective lifetime measured in months rather than years and are much more expensive than DDT. In addition, mosquitoes have developed an immunity that protects them from the effects of pyrethroids." ublib.buffalo.edu
