Lhe publication on September 18, 2007 of the ARTAC expert report coordinated by Pr. Belpomme (oncologist), put the spotlight back on the problems linked to the intensive use of pesticides for banana cultivation in French West Indies.
This pollution, proven for a long time and which no one seeks to deny, was denounced for the first time in 1977. Since then, not a year has gone by without a new report being drawn up, but concrete measures for the protection of local populations and the ecosystem of the islands are long overdue!
