The developing world is sitting on 100 000 tonnes of obsolete pesticide, much
of it stored in dangerous, leaking dumps, according to the UN Food and
Agriculture Organization. Development aid groups have long warned about the
chemicals, many of which were donated by the West and later banned, but this is
the first time the problem has been quantified. Pesticides in Africa alone will
cost $80 million to clean up.
