Tn the modern, hwnan-dorninaced world, a wide
variety of pescs threaten our environn1ent, agriculture,
and health, and muse be controlled. Part of che strategy
for cona·oliing pests is the use of chen1icals that kill or
reduce the numbers of the pesc.
While pesticides are important agents in pest control,
they also can carry significant risks if not used
carefully and srracegically. We now know thac some
pesticides that were once ,videly used can be extremely
dangerous to organisms other than the target pests.
Fifty years ago, a publication
alerted the people ofthe world to potential dangers in pesticide use.
This was the hook, Silent Spring,
written hy Rachel Carson and
published in 1962.

Published in 1962, Silent Spring documents the
effects of pesticides on the natural environment and
human and livestock health. It was first serialized
in The New Yorker magazine and subsequently
published in book form by Houghton Miffiin.
In Sil.ml Spring, R:tchcl Carson c,cplorcs several intt:r-rdarcd themes indudlng:

THE DYING ROBINS OF MSU In Silent Spring, Rachel Carson refers to nu1nerous case studies and examples of the
negative i1npacts of pesticides. One prominent example is the case of the dying robins on
the campus of Michigan State University.
Here the story of Rachel Carson connects with that of an MSU faculty member, Professor
George Wallace. Wallace, an ornithologist, and his graduate students John Mehner and
Richard Bernard, collected birds-mostly robins- from MSU and surrounding suburbs
from the mid-1950s into the 1960s. The birds were found either dead or dying in tremors.
Tests on many of the birds' carcasses revealed elevated levels of the pesticide, DDT.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, DDTwas being sprayed by plane and from trucks
at MSU and elsewhere in Lansing in an
attempt to control Dutch Elm Disease.

AN AMERICAN ICON AND DDT
America's national symbol-the Bald Eagle-was once headed towards
extinction. It is likely that several factors contributed to its decline including
habitat loss and hunting, but pesticides were the major contributor. Many
raptors (birds ofprey) such as Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Peregrine Falcons, and
others underwent dramatic population declines.

Silent Spring not only raised public awareness ofhow
pesticides can cause unintentional impacts on non-target
organisms, but also summarized growing evidence that
insects and otl1er pests can develop resistance to tl1ese toxins.

THE RAINBOW HERBICIDES In the Vietnam War (1959-1975), a number of herbicides were used by the US against North Vietnam
and Viet Cong forces. These included Agents Pink, Green, Purple, Blue, White, and Orange. Rachel
Carson does not refer to these chemicals in Silent Spring, as their use only began in 1961.
AGENT ORANGE 1he best known and m0$t widely used was Agco, 01':rnge. 1h1s hctbicide was comprised of,;t mixture f'2,4-dichlon;,pJ1t:n,oxy;u;ctic add (2,4~0) and 2.4,5'-tricMorophenoxyacetic: acid (2,4,5-T). Agent Ora1\ge was later found to be oonr.uninattXI by dioxin, which h,l..S been called "possibly the most toxic molecule c,..er synthesiicd by man".
Agent Orange nnd other herbicides were ~pplicd from the .iir to defoliate r:tinfo~-rs tu give. less covtr to enemy troops, and to destroy crops to starve the e,1omy. Nearly 20,000.000 gallons wen: spr:iycd fro,n 1962 to 1971. Rcsulringfood i.hmrogcs affCCtcd miHtOns-, mostly in South Vkrn!)m.

Rachel Carson has become a symbol for change in the status ofwomen in science.
Some ofCarson's detractors emphasized her
gender and her unmarried status, labeling
her a "hysterical woman," a "priestess of
nature" and a "spinster."
When changing her major from English to biology,
Carson was warned that "there was no future for
women in science apart from teaching in high
schools or obscure colleges" and that "science was
too rigorous a field for women."

A LEGACY OF SILENT SPRING:
INTEGRATED PEST PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
Today, environmental and agricultural agencies advocate for managing pests using
a combination of practices. This is called Integrated Pest Management (1PM). IPM
op~rates on the principle that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound ofcure".
Of the ten elements of 1PM for managing pests, pesticides (chemical controls} are only one:

TRAINING IN THE ART OF PEST ARFARE
•
When you see photographs of people applying
pesticides in the 1940s and 1950s, what do you
notice? Most obviously, they are not wearing any -protective clothing.
Fifry ycm ago, mosr people applying pesticides for agriculture or human bcahh had Unlc i( any training in how the pesticides should be uwcl or how tQ keep themsdvc:s protected from possible ;adverse effects. •
One ofRacliel Carson's key messages was that pesticides were being used in ignorance oftheir effects - on the environment and on human health.
Since the publication of Silent SprinJ!, people have btcomc muth more careful in how they U$C pestitidcs. lhere is greater awareness that even ifa pesticide is designated :.1s S:)fc to use, this is only if it is applied :10C(lrding to the proper instructions. l r is also better to be s:ifc thim .wrry, so wca.ring protixrhOttf! p,,tarl>W( "'"'t ,.c.-i.:,,.,1o1 ..• •l~WI( ~ P"IT*"'
