The author, a professional chemist, examines the history of insecticide use on crops, and through in-depth experimentation, quantifies the extent of the issue through the inclusion of numerous tables detailing the findings of their research. The author simultaneously provides context on the development of awareness regarding the issue, and discusses the legal measures, regulations, and scientific and public debates that followed the discovery of these findings. The author concludes that the dangers of such practices are very real, and that in order to protect consumers and the environment, changes need to be made.
