Der Verlag: In Deutschland werden jährlich 40 000 Tonnen Pestizide ausgebracht. Die schönfärberische Bezeichnung »Pflanzenschutzmittel« verschleiert, worum es sich tatsächlich handelt: Ackergifte. Aktuelle Untersuchungen belegen, dass diese – entgegen den Behauptungen der Industrie – von Menschen, Tieren und grundwasserführenden Schichten aufgenommen werden. Das geht uns alle an, denn die hocht...
