Ugggh,from 1948–1988 Chlordane was a common pesticide for corn and citrus crops and home termite control. Untested by the manufacturer, exposure to Chlordane include ingestion of crops grown in chlordane-contaminated soil, inhalation of air near chlordane-treated homes and landfills, and ingestion of high-fat foods such as meat, fish, and dairy, as Chlordane builds up in fatty tissue. The United States Environmental Protection Agency reported that over 30 million homes were treated with technical chlordane. This is what happens when you let private companies go unregulated, they just poison us to make a buck.
