CHINA: Concern over toxic pesticide use
Updated
The environmental agency Greenpeace is expressing concern over the continued use in China of highly toxic pesticides which have been banned by the government. Greenpeace China says the chemicals were outlawed at the beginning of the year, but says old stock is still being sold and used by farmers. In the United States, it's led to a call by congressmen and lobbyists for a ban on all Chinese food imports.
