Since their introduction in the 1950s in Guadeloupe (Caribbean), OC pesticides have been extensively used on agricultural lands. Though they were banned from usage in the 1990s, these toxic and persistent molecules are still highly present in soils, especially in the most cultivated areas.]]> 2019-02-11 13:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329851950 camgaulier https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329853049 Chlordecone is an organochlorine pesticide, used in the Lesser Antilles from 1972 to 1993 to fight against a banana weevil. That molecule is very persistent in the natural environment and ends up in the sea with runoff waters. ]]> 2019-02-11 13:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329853049 camgaulier https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329856533 2019-02-11 14:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329856533 camgaulier https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329857771 2019-02-11 14:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329857771 camgaulier https://padlet.com/camgaulier/wgc9klgjm5nt/wish/329865546 Just as land temperatures are increasing, water temperatures are too.
