[2001] Toxic Drift: Monsanto and the Drug War in Colombia Digging further, Van Royen found something alarming: another additive called Cosmo-Flux 411 F was being added to increase Roundup's toxicity. The Roundup/Cosmo-Flux mixture has never been scientifically evaluated nor has the public, either in the U.S., or in Colombia, been informed of this practice..... "the [Roundup Ultra] mixture with the Cosmo Flux 411 F surfactant can increase the herbicide's biological action fourfold, producing relative exposure levels which are 104 times higher than the recommended doses for normal agricultural applications in the United States; doses which, according to the study mentioned, can intoxicate and even kill ruminants." The use of this enhanced Roundup would not be acceptable in the U.S. without prior testing and scientific evaluation. Furthermore, the label Roundup label warns that: "It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application."
[2001] Colombia: Chemical Spraying of Coca Poisoning
Villages Franci sits on the veranda and whimpers. The little girl is
underweight. Her armpits are erupting in boils. Like most of her people, she has
suffered from respiratory problems and stomach pains since the aircraft and the
helicopter gunships came over at Christmas and again at New Year dropping toxic
pesticides on their villages.....'About 230 of the 450 pupils at our school have
gone down with diarrhea, and respiratory and constantly recurring skin
infections,' she said.
......Elsa Niva, a Colombian agronomist who works with the Pesticide Action
Network, ridicules the US government's claims that Roundup Ultra is safe and no
more poisonous than aspirin or table salt. She has written that in the
first two months of this year local authorities have reported 4,289 humans
suffering skin or gastric disorders while 178,377 creatures were killed by the
spraying including cattle, horses, pigs, dogs, ducks, hens and fish.
[2000] Monsanto/US War on Drugs Poisoning Colombian Environment The aerial fumigation program that has grown out of the U.S. government's so-called "war on drugs" is endangering the fragile ecosystems and indigenous cultures of Colombia's Amazon Basin, a coalition of groups warned today at a news conference on Capitol Hill.
