Scientists defend pesticides amid ANZARS discussion in Canberra
Imperial Chemical Industries entomologist F J D Thomas urged restraint in assuming manufacturers are villains, arguing pesticides enable high yields and better sprays are needed to target pests without upsetting ecological balance. He warned that pest control sometimes shifts to other pests, a problem to address with selective chemistries.

DDT safety debate cited by entomologist Knipling
Dr Knipling defends DDT use in public health insisting it saved millions of lives and prevented illnesses since 1942 while noting authorities find no abnormal hazard when directions are followed. He compares pesticide risk to the vast benefits in malaria and typhus control.
