Ecocide in the USSR: Health and Nature Under Siege
No Customer Reviews
Hospitals perform appendectomies not with scalpels, which are in short supply, but with shaving razor blades....70,000,000 people (nearly a third of the population) live in places where the Soviet-defined maximum pollution concentration is exceeded by at least five times...DDT, despite being banned in the USSR since 1972, is used on sixteen percent of agricultural land...The facts, long hidden by official secrecy, are at last emerging, and they tell a grim tale of a failed medical system and pollution so pervasive that cities are poisoned, land left unfit for agriculture, and Soviet people too weakened to meet the industrial and military needs of the nation.
