Slow Poising of India

90,000 tons of pesticide are sprayed annually on India’s crops, making India one of the largest pesticide users and producers in the world. These pesticides arecontaining water, air, and food, taking devastating tolls on India’s health and killing 10,000 people each year. With each meal, Indians are consuming .5 mg of pesticides. Although this is less than a pinpoint, it is also 40 times what Americans consume. The deadly toxin Endosulfan, the farmers are using in the part of Kerala which can cause many affects on people like mental retardation, physical deformities, skin disease, paralysis, and overall deterioration. Endosulfan is banned in many parts of the world. Its use is permitted, it is mandatory that all water sources be covered during its spraying. This was not done in Kerala. As a result, many wells in the area became contaminated. Endosulfan also hangs onto plants long after it is sprayed. When it rains, the pesticide is washed into rivers and streams below, and the poor people who especially have to go to river to get the water for themselves drink that water and get sick. I think nobody seems to care about the public health. They have not reached to the main reason that why are there many people getting sick or die? I would say the biggest problem with India is "Corruption." If anybody raise there voice to say something, they mouth gets sealed by the money.
