Deadly ag poisons......Lindane and Heptachlor were sprayed on Pineapple fields by Maui Land and Pineapple in Kapalua in the late 1970s to control ants ....three neighbors died of Aplastic Anemia,a rare form of leukemia....there was an out of court settlement....I read this in the Hawaii Tribune Herald-front page article.....I must admit this "radicalized" me as far as pesticides are concerned...and then I checked out the papaya fields in Kapoho and realized the HEAVY SPRAYING SCHEDULES....they use massive fungicides when it is rainy, and also malathion to control insects, malathion is an organophosphate, a weaker version of SARIN...Shiela.Murphy, attorney from Keaau, assisted me in calling a meeting with the Dept. Ag and Dept of Health,which was well attended at the Pahoa community center, and this was in 1981 I believe,nothing was done of course...they still spray these poisons,and within HUNDREDS of feet of neighbors on water catchment systems...you can see it yourself !
