Courts hear bid to tighten DDT curbs by conservationists
Four conservation groups and six individuals filed petitions in the U S Court of Appeals seeking stronger actions to end DDT use and ban traces in food. They urge tighter limits, immediate suspensions during suits, and a full ban on DDT in foods, arguing evidence links DDT to cancer in mice and widespread environmental presence. The petitions target actions by the Agriculture Department and the Health Education and Welfare Department, while agencies await study of the filings.
