PESTICIDES AND CHILDREN: UNWITTING
PARTICIPANTS IN EXPERIMENTATION
Since World War II, the use of pesticide products in the United States has
increased fifty-fold.1 We now use approximately 900 million pounds of industrial
pesticides per year in the United States. Two pesticide products marketed for use
on children present striking examples of our overall failure to protect children from
these dangerous toxins. Malathion, a deadly organophosphate pesticide, and
Lindane, a lethal organochlorine pesticide, are both included in shampoos widely
used on children's heads to cure pediculosis, otherwise known as head lice. In
the United States alone, seventeen deaths have been reported in connection with the
use of Lindane; five of these deaths occurred in children. Lindane is so toxic4 that
the Environmental Protection Agency banned all agricultural uses of the chemical
in December of 2006.
