Scores of Paraguayan say that they are being driven from their communities by pesticides, a problem recognised by the new government there.

Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman reports from San Pedro del Norte, Paraguay where locals are complaining that mass spraying of toxic chemicals on farmland near their homes is making them ill.

  • pesticides are so profoundly poisonous. i was exposed to a moderately high amount of a strong pesticide in summer 06 and i still have not recovered.  but these evil companies don't care about poor people. thank you al j for doing this story, hope it will make a difference.

  • thers a rise in autistic kids being born no ones know the cause alot of products and chemicals are being found to be harmful too humans those corporation uses poorer coutries as there test labs.

  • Similar to the other evil corp. Monsanto who has been commiting sins all over the world with their genetically altered seed. This GM product is another example of how US corp. make other countries peoples miserable. We in USA are being poisoned by prosilac in our milk,growth hormones are pumped into our beef cattle which causes cancers in humans, our poultry and swine are also polluted with toxins to make them grow faster and fatter to harvest for profit earlier. Bottled water also polluted!

  • got that right....got that right.

  • this is just sick.

  • words are not enough to display the discust i feel at such unhuman monsters ,,,

  • This isn't bullshit. Even here in my country the herbicides in the fall kills the elderly by the numbers. It also kills the honey bees when they use pesticides. We have no recourse but use but we now it is dangerous. We try to stay indoors to avoid the poison. It has to stop somehow. I even planted a tomato garden and refused to use pesticides. I lost much to worms but still had so many tomatoes that we could not eat them all. Perhaps there is something to learn about sharing even with insects.

  • Monsanto is so entwined in most of the US Government.

    GM Foods ARE POISON

  • Theese are Monsanto seeds and pesticides. The most evil corporation.
